Letter from Brigham Young Jr., 24 May 1892

President Wilford Woodruff Dear Brother On May 21st there were four Scandinavian Missionaries returned to Utah and charged to the Church account, one of them was Niels Peter Larson of Pleasant Grove Utah County, whom President E H Anderson of the Scandinavian Mission reported on his list as a returning Missionary, but in his letter of advice to us he says. "Elder Niels P Larsen came here last summer on genealogical business but was so successful among his friends that he remained to assist in the mission where he has done a good work among his relatives and acquaintances. If you can pass him he will feel well over it, but if not why he will either pay or give you a note" and as we had not authority to pass him free, we took the enclosed note for £14.17.6, which is just the cost to this office of sending him from Copenhagen to Utah, and told him if any other arrangements were made they would have to be made with you. Yours truly Brigham Young JCC P S we have not passed the amount of note through our books
