Letter from John J. Powell, 17 January 1891
Payson Prest. Wilford Woodruff Dear Brother I recived your letter calling me on a mission to Great Britain and will plainly state my circumstances I have been for a short time in the Furniture buisness. the propits is not sufficient to maintain my family and I have to devote most of my time to trade work.

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.

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.
