Letter from Benjamin Cluff Jr., 1 February 1895

Provo, Utah, . President Wilford Woodruff, Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Brother: We are making an effort to collect a Theological Library for the Academy, and would like to ask the Presidency if there would be any objection to our receiving books from other denominations. I believe we could obtain the works of most all of the denominations, including the Catholic, as pres- idents to the Academy, if you think it wise to accept them. Our school is in good working order at present. We have so large an attendance that we were forced to rent another building, across the street west from the present one, in which we have placed the Kindergarten and the Music department. The enrollment exclusive of the Kindergarten pupils, is about 830. With kindest regards to yourself and counsellors, I remain, Very respectfully your brother in the gospel, B. Cluff, Jr.

Richfield, Utah, Wilford Woodruff, Pres. Church of Jesus Christ of L.D.S., Dear Bro; Received your litho of recent date notifying me of my acceptance by you as a missionary to the Southern States. I am pleased to be deemed worthy of the call and would respond at once if financial circumstances would permit. Being the oldest of a large family, I have felt it my duty and have assisted my father in maintaining them, untill two years ago when I took my share of the debts which the family were then owing, and began working for myself. I located a farm of University Land which has since come into market and for which I am obligated to make annual payments of $12500 for the next four years. My farm is in such condition that it needs some improvements in order to make it pay its way during my absence. I am obligated at the present time to the amount of $35000, including this years
