Letter from George Henry Horne, 8 January 1894

Salt Lake City, President Wilford Woodruff, Dear Brother, Your letter of the 6th of December is at hand. Have delayed my answer in hopes that I could make arrangements to respond to the call of duty. My financial condition hardly justi- fyes mey leaving my family, as my wife will have to depend entirely on her ex^c^er- tions for their support during my ab- sence; for I have no income only ^that^ derived from my every day labor. But in the face of the many draw- backs I am making every effort to gather enough money together to purchase the clothing I will need to start with

Letter from William Paxman, 8 January 1894

Nephi City, Utah, President Wilford Woodruff, and Councilors, Dear Brethren, I take pleasure in presenting the names of Charles Edwin Stephenson, and Sister Lottie Bountree of this place; to take the "Normal Course," at the B. Y. Academy for this term, in the interest of the Sunday School training. We have had quite a labor to find those that could go, as many of the Saints are verry much cramped for available means. Sister Bountree attended the past term, and have done well, but, felt that she could do much better work for the S. Schools if she attended through this term, and not being able to find anyone else that could go, we have returned her, trusting that this will meet with your sanction. We were not decided

Letter from James Benjamin Walkley, 8 January 1894

Box 18. Salt Lake City, Utah, Presidents Wilford Woodruf George Q Cannon Joseph F Smith Dear Bretheren Having had some ex- perience in the gathering of Genealogies in England, and having ^been^ asked by many brtheren to get their records for them, I have thought fit to lay this matter before you. I have no desire to undertake this as a speculation, for I have a desire to furnish names at actual cost only. I have found by past experience that it is impossible to contract or charge for name furnished by the hundred or by Per Cent. I also find the saints are very reluctant to impart of their means previous to receiving names, but if a suitable person was selected, in whom you and the saints have con- fidence to over look and see that the work was carried on in a legitimate manner,

Letter from Harriet N. Young, 8 January 1894

Provo, Utah. First Presidency, Dear Brethern: Your letter of Jan. 2nd stating that I have been chosen to take the Sunday School Normal Course was a great surprise to me. Although I know my inability to do justice to the work. After carefully con- sidering the matter I feel to accept the mission praying to God for strength and wisdom to prove my self worthy the confidence bestowed on me; and trusting in His aid while striving to help forward the glorious work He has established. Very truly, Your sister in the gospel, Harriet N. Young.
