Letter from William Hodson, 17 January 1891

Coalville President Willford Woodruff Dear Brother Yours of the 12 inst to my Son John T Hodson, stating that his name had being suggested as a missionary to Great Brittain at hand I am desirous to inform you in regard to my Circumstances financially to and also in regard to my Son J. T. In my opinion he is a good Boy, was 20 years old last July 28 [1890]. he is doing a good work in our Sunday School, being a Teacher therein and also in the Y.M.M.I.A. being a Councillor to the President, thereof. he is naturally quick, has worked in the Coop for a number of years, and is there now. his wage is fifty (50) dollars a month, has a good understanding of Book keeping, although is employed as Salesman. I am called often away from my position, as Book keeper in the Coop, to attend to the sick &c which you will understand. I can intrust him with the business in the office often and do often, in my absense, which is conveniant, and I do not think I could leave the office, some times when called if it was not, that I could call and depend upon him.

I would solicit in his behalf that his fare be refunded to him. He had to borrow most of it from the Elders, and had what little there was in the treasury of the Indiana Conference— just a few dollars. He has been a very ef- ficient and faithful missionary, and is wor- thy of such assistance as may be rendered him in his affliction. His present address is doubtless known to you, but as he is at home by this time, I suppose it will be Monroe Sevier Co. Utah. We have sent a good Elder to take his place, but this leaves Pres.
