Letter from Andrew Kimball, 30 July 1894
Salt Lake . To the First Presidency and Missionary Committee, City. Dear Brethren: I understand that Elders William Newman of Ogden and Daniel Stephens of Fillmore have expressed desires to go to Europe or some other field than Indian Territory. They are both bright, well informed young men and I believe with sufficient backing to enable them to go to any part of the world. Men with less means will do for our field. I do not believe it a good policy to send Elders where it is distasteful to them. In the consideration of the above, and having sufficient elders for this fall I recommend that your drop their names from the I T. list and if desirable use them else where. Very Respctfully Andrew Kimball
