Letter from Hanmer Magleby, 31 May 1893
Monroe, . President Wilford Woodruff, Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Brother: With pleasure, at this my first opportunity, I reply to yours of the 23, inst. I had not returned from school at Provo, when the news reached me that your letter awaited me here. Although I feel humble in accepting such a great call, I feel to say the Lord's will be done, and not mine. I am a single man, have not ^been^ through the Temple, nor have I the means just now with which to go, (not having sold our wool), but with the help of the Lord I shall be prepared financially and otherwise to go at the dated time (June 24). I feel thankful to be considered worthy of a mission, knowing it will be an experience for good that can be had in no other way. Your Brother in the Gospel, Hanmer Magleby. Orson Magleby Bp. Good, J F S.
