Letter from John E. Steele, 19 July 1896

Panguitch, Utah, President Wilford Woodruf, Salt Lake City Dear Brother, I received your letter of July 6 calling me on a mision to Indian Territory, and can say that I feel highly honored by such a call. However in accepting such a labor, I shall be compelled to do so under great financial embarrassments, as I have been attending school for two years, and am under obligations for the means thus spent. This together with a homestead entry that lacks two years of being completed and the raising of the means where with to secure some school land that will soon be in market make the acceptance doubly hard. Now Dear Brother if you think it wise fore me to abandon the land and go under these circumstances, I am at your command. If not, as soon as the land is secured I shall be pleased to accept any labor that you may require. I should like to know your wishes in this matter as soon as practicable. Your Brother John E. Steele Let him be released till his homestead is secured. J. F. S.
