Letter from Carl A. Carlquist, 13 February 1894

Kjebenhavn, . President Wilford Woodruff Salt Lake City, Utah Dear Brother: Thinking the enclosed letter would interet you I send it; I would translate it but knowing that this can be done at your office and knowing that the original gives a better idea I take the liberty of sending it. Brother Anderson came here last May and was, according to your wish, sent to the City of Stockholm, where he gained admittance to the best school in this country for the study which he was to pursue—Figure Molding. When Prest. Lund and I visited Stockholm conference last fall we had several talks with brother Anderson, and learned that he was progressing very rapidley, using every opertunity offered for study. The teachers seems to take a special interest in him and he feels that the Lord has His hand in this— Praying God to bless us all in our efforts to do good I remain your brother in the Gospel C. A.

Rexburg, Idaho, Present Wilford Woodruff, Salt Lake City.
