Letter from William L. Skidmore, 7 March 1895
Richmond Cache Co Utah Pres Wilford Woodruff; Dear Brother; I will now improve the opportunity of answering your letter of inquiry as to my going on a mission. I feel it to be my duty to state the circumstances that I find myself surround ded by. My wife was called from me by the summons of death, leaving her children to my care and that of my daughter. I have striven hard with a sad heart to keep them with me, that I might teach them in such a manner, that the faith of the gospel may be planted in them, and that they may honor their faith- ^ful^ and noble mother, and become useful in the Kingdom of God. By the wisdom and strength given me by my Heavenly Father, I feel that I have been thus far, very successful. Three of them are quite small; and would be left without a father or mother's care in my absence. My means are very limited, and my son Charles is very anxious for the time to come, that he may obey the call made upon him last fall, and go on his mission. He will be ready to start in June

Dear Brethern, will you be so kind as to listen while I mention a few things. My home is worth Four times the amount—Will you help me out of my distress in the following way. Take, and hold the property as
