Letter from George Lionel Farrell, 28 September 1896
Smithfield, Utah, Prest. Wilford Woodruff, Dear Brother: The 2 inclosed letters from Bro's Smith and McCracken will explain themselves. They had both made written contracts to teach school until June next ^before recieving your Letter,^ and soon as they got the Call, they both came home to know my mind concerning the matter. I advised them to say nothing to the Trustees till they hear from you, they are both nice young men Strong & Robust and ernest workers in our Sunday School, and I believe will make good efficient missionaries, they have spent their money in attending Summer School but will save all the money possible from now till June and will will then be well prepared to go. Bro McCracken is very anxious to go to the Swiss & German Mission with Brother Smith, and if it meets your approbation I would suggest that he be given the privilege, as the boys are both anxious to learn all they possibly can. Brother William Thornley came to me last night
