Glory to God in the Highest for He fulfills his word to the Sons of Men. What we have been looking for so Long came to Pass this day. The House of Representatives of the Congress of the United States P^assed^ a Bill for the Admission of Utah into the Union with Equal Powers of the other states with ownly five 5 opposing votes. I think it is an Event unheard of in the whole History of the American Government we trust it will soon Pass the Senate, and be signed by the President & soon become a Law

Letter from Mathonihah Thomas, 13 December 1893

Pres. Wilford Woodruff, Salt Lake City. Dear Brother: Your letter of the 3rd inst calling me on a mission to the Southern States is at hand. Having been out of employment for over six months, I am not in position to start on Jany. 20 [18]94. I would gladly accept the mission now, were I in position to do so. As work is promised me during the next session of the Legislature, I think I will be able to start in early Spring. I feel honored by the call and am very anxious to make the earliest possible start. Meanwhile I remain Your Bro. in the Gospel, Mat. Thomas. J M Secrist (See over)

Letter to George Quayle Cannon, 12 December 1893

Prest. Geo. G. Cannon, Dear Brother: I write to say that I am calling some young men to be missionaries to Germany, including three bankers, A. Owen Woodruff and McEwan, of the State Bank, abd Brother Schettler's son, and expect to call some others. We understand that Brother Schaerrer time is out and he epxects to come home and we want someone to preside, and Brother Joseph says you once named your son Hugh. Now our boys feel that they would like very much to labor under him if he could go and pre- side there, and before writing to you I sent for him to come and see me. I have just had an interview with Hugh; he feels as though he would not like to go Germany to preside, but if he went he would rather go as a missionary and some one else to preside, but that is the very kind of a man that ought to preside and not one who is seeking the office. Now concerning Hugh, I do not know that he ought to be called to go upon any mission at present. He has lately returned from a mission there and gone into business, though I think he is not much involved in debt. I felt to lay the matter before you and get your counsel upon it, and can you name any one who would be suitable to preside there. ^if Hugh did not go^ The 20th of January is the time named to start. I would be glad of an early reply to this. Now concerning our affiairs east, of course we are interested in all your labors and accomplishments. We see from the press that there is a good prospect of the Utah Bill for Admission passing the House, which we hope may be accomplished; and also through the Senate and become a law. We hope you and Brother Clawson will prosper upon your mission
