Letter from Jens Nielsen Lee, 4 February 1893

Hyrum, Cache Co. Utah, . President Wilford Woodruff, Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Brother: Pardon me for calling your attention to a subject which I have tried for years to get adjusted without burden- ing yourself, or others in positions which require constant atten- tion. But I am blind, and helpless, 72 years of age, and for the last 8 years have had to seek a doctor to cure various troubles; under such circumstances, trying enough in themselves, it is a hard burden to be tyranized and dissappointed by those in whose hands my earthly comfort and welfare has been placed; but this being the case I make this last appeal to you, praying, that when you have briefly seen my situation you will kindly use your influence in my behalf. In 1870 the Territorial and County officers of Salt Lake City, turned me over to the Church authorities, who sent me here to Hyrum with Bishop Liljenquist, and at that time certain promises were made regarding my support, which at times have been kept, but more generally neglected. While Prest. C. O. Card presided in this Stake, a committee consisting of 3 Brethren was appointed to look after me
