Letter from Edward William Wade, 17 September 1892
Pleasant View, Utah,
President Wilford Woodruff
Salt Lake City—Utah
Dear Bro,
Bro. David Johns of
this place has received a letter, from you
that his name had been selected to go on
a mission to Europe—His name was
sent in about a year ago and he was
then prepared to go, but since then two
little boys have been very sick—they
have both had to ungdergo a surgical operation
and had several Large Stones removed from
their bladder's. And they are not out of
danger yet. Bro Johns is a farmer in mediam
circumstances he has six children the oldest
about twelve years, owing to the large doctor
bills, and other expence he would have to hire
the money to go. He says if you think best
he will be on hand. I told him I would
write you the particulars and you would do as
the Spirit directed
Respect. E. W. Wade Bishop
