Letter from Benjamin Thomas Lloyd, 11 November 1892
President Wilford Woodruff
City
Dear Brother:
Your letter of October 28th
informing me that my name
had been suggested and accepted
as a missionary to the Southern
States, was handed me on the street
last evening, so I hasten to answer.
I am sorry to say but am
compelled to state that financially
I am overwhelmingly imbaraced [embarrased]
and have been for the last two
years. I have been studying and
striving for the last five years for
the proffession of Law and have
spent one year in the Law Department
of Cornell University, at Ithaca, N. Y.
