Letter to Anthon Lund, 17 April 1896
S. L. C.
Dear president Lund
I received two Letters yesterday
from Owen one was from presit Naegle to Owen
I saw that Owen felt very bad I had written a letter
to president Neagle in it it seams I said sumthing
that He drew from it that I wanted Owen immediately
released Now I did not intend any thing of the kind to
interfere in the Least with your Authority in Releasing
Missionaries I said to Brother Naegle I think that when they
were released I would like them all released together that they
might come home together I cablegramed to you this
Morning to that Effect which I Expt you got
Owen felt very bad about it when He got word that
He could go home alone by himself without any others it
would blight his whole Life I have written them both
to day but fearing that sumthing might happen in the
Matter before the Letters arrived I Cabledgram you which
I hope you got before any thing was done to create
Trouble We have been now some 2 weeks trying to
Appoint some Man to take your place which I hope
will soon be done for you have spent a Long Mission and
it is time youd was relieved when I wrote to Brother
Naegle the office was full of Men and in a Meeting as
I now have to write most of my Letters that way
And I do not have time to Counsel them but
