Letter from Erick Peters Erickson, 6 August 1893

Pres. W. Woodruff, Dear Brother: I received your notice of July 21st And will say that I am willing and glad that I am thought worthy to go on a mission, but have no means to pay my expenses; except I could sell my team which I am willing to do if I can find a buyer.

Letter from John Frankhauser, 6 August 1893

President Wilford Woodruff Salt L. City. Dear Brother in the Gospel: Your favor of Aug. 4th is at hand, in which I am called to go on a Mission to Switzer- land and Germany. About 5 years ago, I have also been called to go on this same Mis- sion, but were honorably released on account of my age. I am now 62 years of age and in my estimation raher old to go on this mission. However I would be perfectly willing to go and willingly respond to this call, but my financial condition is in such a shape, that I really do not know where and how to get the money. I would be obliged to borrow all the money and pay interest thereon, as well as being involved for land already. This is my a thruthfull statement of my condition and I would be plesased if you kindly

Letter from H.R. Shepherd, 6 August 1893

Prests Wilford Woodruff Geo: Q Cannon & Jos. F. Smith Dear Bretheren I recieved your letter of the 14th July, calling me to fill a mission to Provo in the interests of the Sunday School work.

Letter from L. L. Booth, 6 August 1893

St. Anthony, Idaho, President Woodruff: Under the existing circumstances you will excuse the liberty I take in writing you at this time, for as I see it I am compelled as it were so to do. I want your council in the premices. I will try & be as brief as possible & deal with nothing but facts. It pains me beyond discription to be this forced as it were to report those in authority over me. Especialy the Pres't of this stake, & Bishop of the 1st ward of Rexburg. All of the points I will state except one, can be substantiated by our best members & especialy by the co clerk & Bro Donaldson of Titon which was Bishop, but resigned as I understand July 15th [18]92 I commenced work for Pres't Ricks, with no definite understanding as to time or wages. I concidering him a man of honor & could rely on him to do right by me. I told him I wnted him to give me what I was worth & pay all he could afford as I had a family to support. All went well so long as I was able to work, which was at intervals 'till the 18th of Dec [18]92. I did not draw on him very much, as I done some work outside when he did not need me. I did not settle with him 'till sometime in May [18]93, he allowed me $1.25 pr day & I boarded myself the major part of the time. I thought it small as he paid the same to others for the same class of work, & they done no more than I & took no more interest in their work & he boarded them; however I took settled this way.
