Letter from Ephraim Kay, 26 February 1893
Mona Juab Co, .
mr. Woodruff in answer to the letter that
I received yestarday about going on a mission I
will say that I am not an elder and that
i do not hold ayny ^any^ part of the preasthood
but an Just merely a member of the church and
I feel that i anm not able to respond to
the call i am uneducated in the gospel and
in any thing else. and another reason is that I
am in debt now more than I am able to pay
I have a debt that has to be paid by the
first of may and dont know how I will get
means to pay it. I will say in short that
Under the circumstances that I am i
sure in I will say that I can not go
on mo no conditions. I Yours Respectfully
Ephraim Kay
