Letter from John Walker Jr., 27 January 1895
Prest. Wilford Woodruff Salt Lake City Dear Brother Your letter of Jan 23rd notifying me of a call as a missionary has been received, and accepted, and if possible I will be ready to leave here about the 10th of March. I have not yet enough money to take me to my distination. I am doing all I can to get it by selling property at a sacrifice and if I cannot have it by that time I will promise to be ready by the 1st of April anyhow. I came from Australasia fifteen years ago, and have relatives living there now. My Education is very limited I can read and write a little, but through the kindness of a friend I am getting this letter wrote, what amount of money will I need to pay my fare, and other necessary expenses. Please answer as soon as possible Your Brother in the Gospel John Walker Peter Johnson, Bp. Rather than sell his property at a sacrifice, I should say let him have till Apr or longer if need be to get ready J. F. S.
