Letter from Soren Peterson, 5 January 1894

Spanish Fork, Utah, Prest. Woodruff Your favor of 4th inst. just at hand, releasing me for the present from taking a mission to Scandinavia. Since writing you I have been thingking the matter over and have been looking around to see what I could do, my oldest Son has promished to stay at Home while I go on this mission, and I have also found where to borrow some money and taking everything into consideration I feel that perhaps my circumstances are as good now as they will be in the future, and as I feel that I shall have to perform this mission at some time and unless you have made arrangements to fill my place I think that I should prefer to go now. Kindly advise me as soon as possible. Yours truly Soren Peterson see over

Letter from Samuel Henry Wells, 5 January 1894

St George Pres. Woodruff, Dear Bro, Yours of Dec. 26th received. I assure you I consider it a great honer to be counted worthy, to go as a missionary to the nation's of the earth to preach the Gospel of Christ. And if I can possiably get the mean's I will be in Salt Lake City at the time appointed.
