Prest. Wilford Woodruff. Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Brother, On August 1st 1894 Apostle Young wrote me as follows, "Have laid Brother Lee's letters before the Presidency and they expressed themselves very sorry to learn how matters stood, especially the neglect with which Bro. Lee had been treated". The Presidency said "Bro. David Lee may consider himself called on a mission and when ever he reports he is ready to go, we will assign his field." "If David has any choice of land or country I presume there will be no objection raised to it." I forwarded Apostle Young's letter to Bro Lee and he accepted the call as you will see by the enclosed letter from him Bro. Lee has been waiting some two years and a half for an appointment as he was notified of a mission that long ago. He is financially able to fill a mission and his business is so arranged that he can start at once. Please see that his Licence is sent immediaty so that he can obtain ministers rates in case you desire him

Smithfield . Prest. Wilford Woodruff. Dear Brother: Brother Erick P. Erickson who was called on a mission to Europe one year ago, has been preparing to go ever since the call came, saved his money and placed it in the Bank for safe keeping, but some time this last Spring he took a severe cold, and it has turned to the Dispepsia, and has kept him feeling very poorly all the Summer and still is very poorly. He came to me this last week and told me that he thought he would start anyhow & if he continued poorly he could return again, but I tell him that him that we had better hear from you first, as it would not be best for

Prest. Wilford Woodruff Dearest Father: Your kind letter of Aug 22nd has been received and read with great pleasure. Was sorry to hear of the condition of little Asahel & have remembered in my prayers which is all that I can do so far from him. I sincerely trust he has recovered. Pa your letters always are a source of great pleasure to me & I can not express my thanks to you. No matter who forgets to write to me Fathers letters come along about every week & written in your own hand. No one writes as much as you do & I can not thank you enough that you are so kind & always remember me. I know Ma remembers me to but she has so much to do that I cant expect her to write as often as I should like to hear from her. In regard to your writeing: Of course I can read it & there is only a word here & there that ever troubels me & it I soon find out what that is. You just write & I will assure you your letters will be read. Regarding them being private, will say no one sees your letters but myself. What you said about my Carriage that is all right to keep it if you want to but you should see that the top is up, that the wheels stand on boards & that the Canvass cover is spread over it to shelter it from dust. My eyes have given me no trouble since I had them treated & commenced to wear glasses to read & write. The Dr. told me (as I think I told Ma in one of my letters) that my eyes were strained & that I must not read or write for six weeks or else use glasses. I prefered the latter as I felt that my eyes would never stand the reading I wish to do without glassess. Since that time I have had no trouble & have done a great deal reading. According to your instructions I read the Doctrine & Cov. through; have read most of the books of the New Testemant & considerable beside this in the bBible, also "The Voice of Warning," "Parley P. Pratts works," The Pearl of Great Price, and a great many Sermons in the Semi News and always read my "Stern" through once or twice which comes once in two weeks. My reading is all German except Parley P. Pratt's Works & my Deseret News. I always read the Sermons delivered at the Tabernackle many times in English & German both. Last evening I read an Epistle you wrote on to the Saint's while you were in St. George; I think at least while you were on the "Under Ground." I found it in one of the Old "Stern's." Stern is the paper published by the Swiss & German Mission the same as the "Star" in Liverpool. Some times it appears that our work was all most in vain to try to bring the people of this country to an acceptance of the Gospel but it is [sideways text] Jake & Will send best love [end sideways text]
