Letter from David Henry Cannon, 3 August 1893

St. George, Utah Prest Woodruff and } the other members of the } Church Board of Education } Brethren: As the time for reg- gular opening of another school year approaches, we deem it proper to make statement of condition of affairs per- taining to St George Stake Academy.

Salt Lake City, . Presidents W. Woodruff & Counselors: Dear Brethren, Yours of the 31st ult calling me as a missionary to attend the Sunday School Normal Course at Provo, was received and I have presented the matter to my employer, Amos Howe. He says, as I am the only person employed by him in the pattern shop, it would be very in- convenient to him if I should go on this mission, as it would take a stranger some time to get acquainted with the bus- iness.
