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).
