Letter from William Chandler Parkinson, 18 January 1895
Preston, Idaho,
Pres. Wilford Woodruff
Dear Brother
a few days ago, Julius Johnson of the
ward, received a call to go on a mission
to Australia, & be prepaired to start from
Vancouvers Island Feb. 16th. The young
Man is willing to go, but heias to depend on
his Father for the money, & his Father says
he can be prepaired to start in about three
months, providing his mission can be
changed either to Norway or the United
States he is a Norwegian & would much
prefer that he should go there, please
answer at once that they may know
how to prepair; I beleive unless the
change is made his Father will not help
him to go, & he has nothing of his own
with kind regards, I am yours
Brother in the Gospel
W. C. Parkinson Bp.
We need Elders for Norway.
Let him go there, 3 mo's. hence. J. F. S.
