Letter from Jedediah Taylor, 1 June 1896
L.D.S. College, Salt Lake City, Utah, .
Pres. Wilford Woodruff,
Salt Lake City.
Dear Brother:
I have recieved a communication
to the effect that my name has been sug-
gested and accepted as a missionary to the
Southern States, with the request that I an-
swer the letter.
Concerning my feelings with regard to this
call I will say, I have not sought for the priv-
ilege of preaching the gospel. I realize that the work
is important, and that I am very insignificant
and poorly prepared for such a work, but if you
desire, if it is the will of the Lord for me to un-
dertake such a work I trust that my way will
be opened up.
If you choose to call me, please let me know
at once what things in the shape of books, clothing
etc. I will need, as I have but little money to purchase
these things with and will have to make turns
with other things to get the necessities. This will
require some time.
Your Brother,
Jedediah Taylor.
John Tingey Bishop
