Elsinore, Utah. Pres. Wilford Woodruff, Salt Lake City, Dear Brother: Your unexpected letter, dated June 26th, was received this morning, announcing my call to fill a mission to New Zeland. Believing that every young man who performs an honorable mission to the nations of the earth, will be greatly blest, I do not feel that it would be proper nor even desirable, through any refusal on my part to deny myself of any blessing that can thus be obtained. Although I am pushed very closely financially, through the assistance of God, I hope to be able, to meet all require- ments.

Letter from Thomas Edwin Ricks, 3 July 1893

Rexburg, Idaho, Pres. Wilford Woodruff Salt Lake City Dear Brother; We write you at this time to lay before you the condition of our Stake Academy and ask your counsel and advice in the matter. Our school is at present some $40000 in debt, and at a meeting of the Stake Board of Education, held June 16th, the executive com- mittee were instructed to address a letter to the Gen. Board asking for an increased appropriation to help us to better maintain our institution. Since the resolution referred to above was passed, we have noted an article in the Juvenile Instructor under "tTopics of the Times" that seems to intimate the advisability of doing away with the primary and intermediate grades in our church schools, and also that the church will not be able to give further support to these grades. If this is the case, the prospects are pretty gloomy for the future of our institution. The primary and intermediate grades are
