Letter from John Julius Thorderson, 13 May 1896
Cleveland President Wilford Woodruff Salt Lake City, Utah Dear Brother I received a call from you, dated the 6th Inst to go on a mission to Iceland. In reply would say, I consider it my duty to respond, when I am called to do eney thing in this Church, as far as it is ^in^ my power, and will except the call providing I have a good partner to go with me, as you want to kno- w my feeling in regards to the call, I will try to say a few words on the same. For me to ask for a good partner is becaus I am very poor in the language. I came to this country when I was only 6 year old, have not studied the language as I should have done. I can speck partly but can not read or write the same. I realise that it will be hart for me to ^go^ into a strange country with out an exsperenced missionary. I hope that you will not exspect me to. I would like to get a man that is pretty well posted in the Iceland language and one that knew the country a little. If thair was a missionary thair now. which I could go to work with as it is in other places I would not ask what I do. My curcumstances is not as good as I would like them to be I have a Father and Mother about 70 years of age to take care of, and a baby 6 months old. its mother died 5 months ago. I will need some help in from the ward in a financial way. but will help my self all
Letter from William John Hill and Orson Smith, 13 May 1896
To President Wilford Woodruff. Dear; Brother, We your brethren of this Ward, having been Organized one year last April, are meeting in a District School House, which greatly discommodes us. So we thought best, to build a, Meeting House, 40 x 26 Brick. we now have commenced such House the estimate cost with seats, to ^be^ fifteen hundred dollars ($150000) We have 27 families in the Ward Our subscribtion list in the Ward is Eight hundred ($80000) dollars. Now in view of the people donating liberaly, we thought we would lay this matter before you for your consideration, if you feel like helping us in this matter it will be greatly appreciated. by Your Brethren, Bp. Wm. J. Hill This request brethern is a very worthy one and the circumstances of the people are such that the weight of it will of necessity fall on a few, and they are greatly in need of a house and inasmuch as they show a willingness to do all they can, I suggest that, if you can, you let them use $20000 of their tithings, per year for 3 years Your Bro Orson Smith
