Letter from George Schick, 4 December 1891
Paris, Idaho, Prest. W. Woodruff, Salt Lake City: Dear Brother, After I had received my call to go on a mission to Switzerland and Germany, I used all my time and tried to get ready. I provided for my family, but have not been able to get the money for my passage to Europe. The response of the Elder Quorum and the two Paris Wards was very poor, only fifty dollars was the result; which I had to give to Bro. L. T. Shepherd, at the Tithing office, by order of Prest. Wm. Budge. Bishop Wm. West, of the First Ward (were I belong to) showed very little interest from the beginning on. I regret very much that I am not able to go. Very respectfully Your Brother in the Gospel George Schick. If he is not able to go, I suppose we will have to excuse him, or give him all the time he needs to get ready to go. J. F. S.

Nov. 28' bringing us your kind favor of Nov. 7" also books, tracts, globe shoe supplies and a check for $50600 for all of which we feel to thank you.

Will endeavor to change the check to the best advantage then forward with Bros. Ringhorn and Hunter who have been appointed to labor on Tonga and will leave on the next steamer Dec. 25 or 26. Bros. Damson and Seegmiller will go to Tahiti while Bros. Harding and Dimons remain on Samoa. The above mentioned brethren are all here at present and are study- ing very hard on three different dialects while I am trying to assist them all. The brethren are progressing
Letter from Brigham Young Jr., 4 December 1891
President Wilford Woodruff George Q. Cannon Joseph F. Smith Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Brethren: Your letter of Oct 22nd I received with a thankful heart. Your approval of changes upon the Continent and method ^of^ sending our conti- nental emigration is very satisfactory to me. I trust that Bro. Jack and Spence will post the presidents of the Swiss & German Missions & Holland at an early day as they have already ap- plied to me for information respecting the new regeme. There is great enquiries for the back no. of the "star", say the first ten volums. Please consider the subject and if you deem it wise to republish, direct where it shall be done. It might be published on subscription; people are pretty well Conversent with what they would get for their money. I believe it would ^be^ a popular thing to do. I suggest ^this^ only. I have met with no suitable place to move the office to so far; but have it in mind, and I beleive it should be moved w[e-] repracticable [where practicable]. Your favor of the 20th ult. reached me yesterday. Bro. stauffer was in the office when it came. I was chagrined to find myself unable to carry out your reasonable suggestions. But he, Bro. S. has done a good work, exhausted his own means and is now in debt. I have loaned him a little money to purchase clothes to cover
