Letter from Oliver H. Shumway, 15 January 1895

Franklin, Idaho, Pres Woodruff Dear Brother, I recieved a Letter yesterday from the president of the Southern States mission giving lots of good counsel &c And among other things says I should leave home with $7500 or $100. Now I find that $5000 is about the limit of what I can have to leave with. Now what I wish to know is whether I would be justified in leaving here with that amount or not as I wish to follow counsel to the best of my ability. Will you kindly advise me and as soon as convenient? If I go I should like to leave here here on the 21st so as to visit relatives in Salt Lake City and vicinity your Brother in the Gospel Oliver H Shumway I know of no laws forbidding an Elder to go on a mission without purse or scrip, if he has faith to do so, trusting in the Lord for success, nor of any law compelling him to have, 50$ 75$ or 100$, or any other sum of money to start on a mission with.

Letter from Peter Clegg, 15 January 1895

Pres. Wilford Woodruff, Salt L. City. Dear Brother: Yours of 14th ulto. received saying my name had been suggested as a missionary to Southern States. Not being religiously inclined I was some what surprised. However I have a great deal of respect for the auth- orities of the Church. But situated as I am I dont see how I can consistently leave home. My wife died a little over 4 years ago. I have three children aged from 4 to 8 years. Since then we have lived with my parents They are nearly seventy years of age and should not be troubled with the care of small children. Without going into details I would ask to be excused. Hoping by so doing I will not incur your displeasure, I am Yours Very Respy, Peter Clegg See over
