Letter from Benjamin Cluff Jr. to the First Presidency, 28 April 1896
Presidents Wilford Woodruff,
George Q. Cannon
Joseph F. Smith,
Salt Lake City, Utah.
Dear Brethren:
Some time ago Brother H. E. Bowman of Kanab
called at the Academy for the purpose of obtaining if possible
a suitable teacher for their schools in Kanab. They desired a
man who could also be useful to them in sabbath schools and in
the young men's associations. Only one man in our school ai is
available, Brother A. B. Christensen, who, however, is called
on a mission. Brother Christensen is willing to do whatever you
as the Presidency may direct. I enclose you herewith letters from
Brother Woolley which will indicate the urgent necessity of
having a suitable man to aid them, and I^,^ also^,^ heartily recommend
that if it meets your minds that Brother Christensen be released
to go to teach school and aid them in their labors in Kanab.
Very respectfully,
B. Cluff, Jr.
Pres't. Woodruff thinks that bro. A. B.
Christianson should be honorably released
from the call made upon him to take a mission,
in order that he may go to Kanab and take care
of their school as desired. J. F. S.
