Letter from Isaac Evans, 29 May 1891
Scofield. . President Wilford. Woodruff. Dear Brother: I have been notified to answer your Letter by my son Taliesin as to the willingness of himself to go out to scattar the seed of truth in his native land. He is young, and merry, and as been a good boy in the famely, but unexperiant for missionary work without he having great power from On high: for which we honestly pray, as a famely, he shall recive. We now of no "reasonable obstacles," but what you may give your opinion upon it, for our good. Three years to next September is since we have emigrated out to the mining District of Scofield. And when we left we were in debt to kind friends at Wales of which we have thought to redeem ourselfs, it as also been our effort to emigrate our eldest boy and his famely 8 in number, which as kept us back from doing this good point before it would be ^that^ the promptings of the Spirit would suggest one of us to go on Mission: The depression of the trade also, at the Coal-Mine as caused it to be otherwise. Dear. Brother. Taliesin is willing to go, and we are willing also as a famely, to help him Out, and try to do the best we can on the ocasion, Yours truly "On the Lord side." Isaac. Evans.—to Taliesin. Evans. (his son).

His illness is the jaun- dice, superinduced by malaria which he suf- fered from in a former field, and which it appears had never thoroughly left his system. He has been well cared for in the home of a friend of our people—a Mr Norman, who with his wife gave him all the accommodation they had at their command, and their fam- ily physician attended him at their expense. I left it to himself and the opinion of the physi- cian and his friends, whether he should return home, or continue where he was for treatment. And
