Letter from Charles L. Olsen, 3 June 1891

Payson, Utah, Prest. Wilford Woodruff, Salt Lake, Dear Brother, I am in receipt of a communication from Sec. Geo. Reynolds, on behalf of ^the^ Missionary Committee of the Apostles saying, with refer- ence to my being called on a mission and re- garding my present pecuniary condition, they do not wish me to make too great a sac- rifice to answer to said call, and that "they are entirely willing that I should take the time I feel necessary to straighten up my affairs." In answer will say I am thankful for the offer, but I reason thus: The call or requirement is from the Lord, through proper authority; It is my business to respond, and the Lord's business to help me so I can per- form what He has required of me. On receiving the Call, I set about at once to arrange my affairs to this end, "relying on His omnipotent Providence," as stated in my former letter, and, though my finan- cial condition is, at present, embarrassing, yet I have hope and faith that all "can be placed in such shape that I can leave honorably."

We are glad to say that the health of the people is improving a little With Kind Regards Your Brother in the Gospel T E Ricks

Letter from Karl Gottfried Maeser, 3 June 1891

Salt Lake City, President Wilford Woodruff. Dear Brother, Only after much hesitancy, and consultation with some of the Bretheren of the General Board, I venture to lay before you a case of an entirely personal matter and trust you will kindly overlook any seeming presumption on my part. A year ago on account of the growing necessities of my family, I commenced building a new house at Provo, and to procure a building spot for my other family near Salt Lake City, in the hope of disposing some good real estate of mine at Provo during the then prevailing boom there. The boom collapsed, I have not been able to sell thus far and find myself in a tight place. I cannot raise any where the $500 needed just now. The $100 cash of my monthly salary have assisted me in meeting my obliga- tions thus far, but now I am confronted by an emergency My petition to you is to grant me the privilege for a few months to get the other half of my monthly salary, which is to be paid in Tithingorders, in cash also. By these mean[s] I could hope to arrange matters, otherwise I do not see how I can meet my engagements. With the hope that you will pardon me for thus
