Letter from John Jacob Vetterli, 3 July 1891
Dear Brother Woodruff!
Your communication
of the 1st inst. came in my possession, and felt not a little
surprised, as well as grateful for being considered worthy
and acceptable, as a missionary to the nations of the earth.
But with deepest regrett, must inform you, that it seems
to me impossible to partake of this privilege, and to respond
to the call, at as early a date as the 18th of this month, as I
havent got the ready means on hand, and it looks very
doubtful, wether I'd be able to obtain the nesessary means
by that time. I have got some means coming to me, should
I receive the same before the 29th of August, I would
gladly and willingly respond to the call, if not, I would
kindly ask you for a little more time.
I shall do the best of my ability, and with the help of the
Lord, hope to be enabled, to comply with the request very soon.
Awaiting a reply
I remain
Your humble Brother in the Gospel
John Vetterli.
