Letter from William Chandler Parkinson, 13 January 1892
Preston, Idaho,
Pres. Willford Woodruf
Dear Brother
recently there has been three young men called
from this ward to go on Missions to Scandanavia
namely John A. Larsen, Peter Jensen, & Thos. Sponberg
aged respectively 21 19 & 18 years
they all hold the office of Priests & before going
if it meets your approval they desire to have
their Endowments—they are requested to start
as early as Feb. 20th hence you will see the
necessity of an early reply that they may have
time to get ready. also if there is no
objections they would be pleased to spend
one week at the Temple in order that they may
get a more Thorough understanding of the
covenants & obligations they take upon themselves
in that sacred place.
I would be pleased also if you could advise me
as to the cost of their trip to their fields of
labor your early reply will greatly
Your Brother in the gospel
W. C. Parkinson Bp.
See over.
