Letter from Richard Henry Hansen, 10 November 1896
Pres. W. Woodruff
Dear Brother I was called
and appointed to go on a
mission to California on
Janary the first 1897. But
find it impossible ^to^ find the money
to go. your letter statted that
I should let you know at
my earliest convenience, but
have been thinking if posible
i would raise the means and
therefore have neglected to write
and tell you ^my^ circumstances
before. I have no trade, or
farm of my own, but have
been farming on shares and
things being so cheap it has
taken all my produce to pay
