Letter from George Goddard, 27 July 1893

Salt Lake City July 27 1893 To the First Presidency of the Church Dear Brethren, I respectfully ask your permission and indulgence to lay before you a few facts, which I consider of grave im- port at the present time.

Academy Provo, and that my name was decided upo[n], or selected as one, and request to be there Jan. 1st 1894. It seems to me that it would be much ^more^ prudent to have some younger man that would be more apt, and would be more at liberity and would have a longer life of usefulness before him, to attend. But if it is thought I can do more good in that direction, and the Priesthood wishes me so to labor I am willing and on hand to do what I can. I shall arrange my affairs and be at Provo on the above mention date unless I am otherwise advised
