Letter from Charles Gloyd Hyde, 6 May 1896
Hyde Park, Cache County Utah,
Pres. Wilford Woodruff,
Salt Lake City, Utah.
Dear Brother.
The Seventies Quorum have called upon our ward for a
Missionary, and it seems that the only available member they have in our
ward, at the present time, is financially in a poor condition to leave at
the present time, as he is in debt at the bank some over $800.00 and,
although, he would make the sacrifice at any cost, if he is called, we do
not feel that it would be wisdom to send him at present but, if it meets
your mind, we would be pleased to suggest the name of Earnest Duce to
fill this call, and hold brother Thurston for the next call made upon
Hyde Park, thus giving him time to prepare without making such a sacrifice
Brother Duce is an excelent young man, well informed, and financially
in a condition to start at a moments notice,
Very Truly Your Dretheren
Charles G. Hyde.
Bishop,
J W D Hurren
Councelor,
Lorenzo Petersen
Councelor.
Unter the circumstances I think
the above suggestion's wise, and I
endorse the reccomendation of
Bro Duce.
Respectfully Your Bro
Orson Smith
