Letter from Charles A. Haacke, 15 August 1892
Salt Lake City .
President Wilford Woodruff
Dear Brother!
I wrote to you a letter last week, stating my
circumstances and condition in which I am, for
I have recieved a call to go on a mission to Europe
Asking your advise in the matter. I have not yet
recieved an answer, for which I am anxiously waiting
Perhaps my letter did not reach it's destination, therefore
I will repeat that which I wrote to you before. It was
in the spring when I recieved a call to go on a mission
to Switzerland & Germany, but expecting an increase
in my familie, I desired that you would release me
from it until October, by which time I expected
to have enought money saved to provide for my familie
for the first year of my absence. Circumstances have
formed matters in such a shape with me, that I have
not been able to save. Now I would like to go on
that mission for I am anxious to perform this labor
as well as my brethren who are placed in better
circumstances. My familie would need to be supported
