Letter from Charles Roscoe Savage, 22 August 1894

Salt Lake City, Utah, President W. Woodruff Dear Brother, This morning our valued and much esteemed helper C. W. Rogers was notified of being chosen as missionary to Tahiti. In behalf of Brother Rogers I desire to make the following presentation: He is of course ready to obey the call; but if he had the least choice, would prefer Germany for the reason he has been studying the language for some time. Moreover his health was not good when on the Pacific Islands, where he came from, eight years ago.

Letter from Thomas R. Cutler, 22 August 1894

Lehi, Utah . Pres't Wilford Woodruff, Box. B. S. L. City. Dear Brother: I enclose a letter from Levi A. Phillips who has been called to the southern states; the time appointed for him to leave is October next. He has been up to see me and explained his circumstances which are as follows: He has a wife and two schildren and is in possess ion of a small home ^on^ which he has just succeeeded in clearing off the debt. We are not able to give him constant work, and he is employed probably 8 months out of 12, and he says that he has not means at present; but as the sugar campaign is about commencing, with economy he could save a little money and be prepared to go on his mission April next. As this ward like all other wards just now, is heavily taxed to meet all demands on it, if it meets with your approbation, I should certainly reccommend that he be realesed until then. Very truly yours, Thomas R. Cutler Bp. E. C.

Letter from Andrew Kimball, 22 August 1894

Ogden, Utah, President Wilford Woodruff Salt Lake City. Dear Brother: On arriving here I found Elder William Newman had not received any word from you respecting any change of mission in answer to my letter to you some time since. He has made every preparation to go to Indian Territory, and owing to a desasterous fire which destroyed their place of business, he is so imbarraced that he could not I well go to a more expensive mission. So please let his call remain as it is to leave home Sept 1st for Indian Territory. And greatly oblige him and your Brother in the Gospel Andrew Kimball All right. So let it be. J. F. S.
