Letter from Edward William Robinson, 9 February 1893

[end of sideways text] American Fork, Feb. 9th 1893. Pres. Wilford Woodruff Salt Lake City. My Dear Brother: Your kind letter of Jan. 13th honoring me with a call to Switzerland and Germany as a missionary was duly rec'd. I feel to thank the Lord that His servants have seen fit to call me into the ministry and cheerfully accept the call as one of the grandest I have ever had. Had I had my choice of fields I should have chosen this same mission. I would feel that my duty was unfinished if I were not to spend some of my life in warning the world. I will not expect to find it a bed of roses, but with the help of the Lord I hope to meet all obstacles

Letter from Frank Atkinson Cutler, 9 February 1893

Prest. Wilford Woodruff, Dear Brother: Your notice of the 7th Inst. calling upon me to act as a missionary to the Society Islands, is received. I am very poorly prepared for such a work but am willing to go and do all I can to spread the principles of truth among my fellow-bretheren. I will

Letter from Elof N. Engberg, 9 February 1893

Salt Lake City, Utah . President W. Woodruff, Dear Brother: Enclosed find letter from Bro. E. N. Engberg which I do not feel justified in endorsing, without making you acquaint- ed with his circumstances and phisical condition. He is a good faithful man, and quite willing to go on a mission if desired to do so, but he has a wife and six children who are dependent on his labor for their support, with the exception of an income of about $15.00 per month, derived from the rental of a house. Sister Engberg has poor health a good deal of the time, and Bro. Engberg has been afflicted for several years with a weakness in his legs, which incapacitates him from travelling on foot to any extent, he sometimes finding it difficult to walk two or three blocks. Notwith- standing his circumstances and condition, if it is thought advisable that he should go on this mission, he will cheerfully respond. With kindest regards, Very respectfully your Brother, Robt Morris

Letter from Frederick Augustus Huish, 9 February 1893

Payson Prest. Woodruff Dear Bro[ther] I recieved your letter, by Bro. Reynolds, stating I might have what time I needed to prepare for my mission and have been waiting to arrange my business, if possible, before making my answer. I have not yet settled my affairs and would like to ask you wether or not there is any body going to Turkey or any where in Europe
