Letter from James Day, 5 July 1895

Fillmore, Pres. Wilford Woodruff, Salt Lake City. Dear Bro: Yours of June 25 is at hand and contents fully noted. I consider it a great honor to be counted worthy to fill a mission. If I understand the expense of going on a mission and keeping a wife and ten children, it will be imposible to go on a mission at the present time. Who ever suggested my name to you as a missionary either knew nothing of my circumstances or had other objects in view besides that of gocarrying the Gospel to the nations of the earth. Feb. last Apostle Lyman spoke to me about a mission to my native country, and I told him how I am situated. I regret very much that my answer is not more favorable to your call. Your Bro. in the Gospel Jas. Day.
