Letter from Thomas R. Cutler, 5 February 1894

Lehi, Utah, . Prest. Wilford Woodruff, Box. B. Dear Brother: I have been asked to furnish you the names of a few young men who are worthy members of the Church, who would be likely to respond to a call for missionary service; they are as follows: ^1^ Mons Heber Anderson ^Scand (?)^, ^2^ Walter Webb ^Eng.^, ^3^ William Ross ^[England]^, and ^4^ Edward Southwick ^[England]^. I also enclose you a letter from Bro. Wm. Bone whos name has been suggested by the Seventies' Quorum here, and who has received a notificaition over your signature, asking him if he could take a mission to Great Britian. He came up to see me, and while no doubt, he has been suffering with rheumatism for many years, my opinion is that he does not want to go ion this mission, and I do not think that the Church desires any except who are willing. Very truly yours, Thomas. R. Cutler Bp.

He would be pleased to have further time untill next Fall, as he thinks he could arrange matters to go. Your Brother in the Gospel, William Davis, John E Rees Bishop All right. give him til next fall. J. F. S.
