Letter from Carl Christian Anton Christensen, 18 May 1896

Ephraim, . President W. Woodruff. Having been proposed as a missionairy to the city of Chicago, but, at present, un- able to comply for want of the neccessary means, I herewith, most respectfully, take liberty to suggest for your consideration a plan by which I may eventually be able to perform the said mission, and mean- while be of service to the Church in Zion. I respectfully propose to be assigned a mission pro. tem., exhibiting my own paintings, which illustrate some of the most important events in the history of the Church, but to do this effectually, there should (in my opinion) be no charge for admittance of the Teachers and Pupils of the Sunday-Schools, as I have found that many worthy children have been deprived of the benefits from that instructive exhibit- ion because their parents did not have the means, and in some cases not inte- rest enough to pay the small admission- fee that I used to charge for children.

Yet I will try to be ready to leave Salt Lake on the the 2nd of July as you request, ant trust in the Lord for the result. Your brother in the Gospel, Ezra Christiansen

Letter from Jacob Magleby, 18 May 1896

Monroe, Utah, . Pres. W. Woodruff, Salt Lake City, Dear Bro, By enclosed letter you will see that some time last year I was sent a letter of enquirey as to going on a mission. At that time I was employed to teach school. Since then I have been elected Co. Supt. of Schools, I now Iwrite you to ask what you think I ought to do, should I resign my possion as Supt. or would you suggest that I complete my term of office before making arrangements to go on a mission? Hoping you will feel free in advising me what you think and feel would be the best for me to do. Your Brother in the cause of truth, Jacob Magleby. Let him decide the matter as he thinks best for himself. J. F. S.
