Preston, Idaho. . Pres. Wilford Woodruff Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Brother Woodruff.

Letter from Hyrum Johnson, 2 August 1893

Provo Pres. Wilford Woodruff Dear Brother: Received your letter, which called me to a 20 Weeks course of the Sunday School Normal class, commencing Aug 21 [18]93, in reply to which will say that while I am over anxious to fulfill my calling, I should like to present my circumstances for your advise. Times have been very dull all spring and summer and I have been out of employment and now have a 3 months job at the Sugar Factory the proceeds of which seem almost necessary for the support of my family this winter. and I have thought if I could attend the second instead of the first term, it would be more convenient for me. I am willing however to abide your decision.
