Letter from Christian Nielsen, 26 April 1896
President Wilford Woodruff
Salt Lake City.
Dear Brother. Your letter of Dec 12
1895, desiring to know what my feelings are in
regard to a call as a Missionary to Scandinavia,
will say, that I am very anxious to fill the Mission,
and hoping that by this time I should have been
able to give a favorable reply, with the assurance that
I could go, is my only reason for not answering
sooner; but if I am sufficiently prospered as
to Enable me to gather means to pay my
way to the Field of labour assigned me, I
will assuredly go, and will advise you thereof
in due time; my Family will be able to take
care of themselves during my absence all right, but
at present the prospect is not bright to obtain the means.
Your Brother in the Gospel,
Christian Nielsen
I fully endorse the above. J. S. Jensen Bp. Salina
