Letter from Sidney Orson Stevens, 8 October 1895

GIVE DATE OF THIS LETTER IN YOUR REPLY. 189 President Wilford Woodruff. Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Brother: After some unavoidable delay, which I regret, I hasten to reply to your letter of September 4th. 1895, and make known to you my feelings in regard to taking a mission to Great Britain. I am, at any time I can arrange to leave, ready and willing to go, but at present I cannot seem to so arrange. My Brother, Frank J. has been requested to make known when he can go as a missionery to California. I now learn from him that he has arranged to go sometime this fall or winter, if desired, and the business interests of our firm, just at this time, being such, we both being active in the business, that it would be almost impossible for both of us to be away at the same time, and father does not feel able to assume the whole managment and control of the business alone, I therefore feel that I will have to ask for a postponement. I have talked the matter over with Father and all interested and we have concluded that either Frank J. or myself can and will respond now and if there is any preference I think that it can be complied with, the one remaining will go as soon after the other returns as desirable. I trust that the above will meet with your approval, and remain, Your Brother in the Gospel. Sidney O. Stevens I can heartily endorse this letter and will say that I would recommend Frank J. to go now in place of Sidney O. they are both good men and in full fellowship if both are called to go now the business would suffer very much. Respectfully your bro. in the Gospel Robert McQuarrie Bishop 2nd Ward Ogden over--

Letter from Jesse Earl, 8 October 1895

Logan, Utah, First Presidency Mormon Church Dear Brethren: Your letter came to hand yesterday and contents considered. Am sorry to state that at present I am unable to go on a mission, for reasons, that I have just got married (so to speak) and have had so much sickness that I am very much cramped financially. I have just started in business and in doing so, have got myself very much involved. Mr. England and I have leased The Journal and in doing so have assummed its obligations which are very great to us as we, neather of us had any capital to start with. Hoping that this explanation and that I may be able, in the future to comply with your request will be satisfactory, I Remain Your brother in the Gospel Jesse Earl PS. Will be down there in a week or so and will call on you. J Earl. Very well. When he gets ready he can say so. J. F. S.

Letter from John Waldemar Beck, 8 October 1895

To the First Presidency of the Church of J.C. of L.D.S. Dear Brethren: Your favor of the 16th of Sept. reached us last week. We are happy to state that we are all in the enjoyment of good health at the present, we are also very busy now to meet our appointments - we have appointed three conferences to be held during the three coming weeks - one on each of the three large Islands Viz Savaii, Upolu, and Tutuila. We anticipate a joyful time in conference with the Saints & Elders of the different Islands. Oct 4th Bro. Andrew Jenson left for New Zeland on the S.S. Monowai: while here he visited all the Islands on which there are branches of the Church he compleated his work as far as possible and left all necessary instructions for our future benefit in keeping a competent and reliable history of all important transactions in the Mission. We expect the two Elders you mention in your last, and will say we think that we have now sufficient to carry on the Work for some time to come, in fact we have ordered ahead so as to leave no gap when any are released. Sometimes we feel that we are not meeting with much success and our
