Wilford Woodruff
Dear Bro:
You wrote me last Spring, that when
I was ready to go on a mission to let
you know, in reply will say that
I can go any time after Jan 1, 1897
But I am a poor scholar and do not
know much about Scripture and have
had a very little practice in public
speaking, but if you say so I will
go and do the best I can with the help
of the Lord. I would like for you
to let me know if you want me to go
so I can be ready, and let me say
that my circumstances are such that
I can go.

Letter from Jennie May Scoville Wheeler, 8 December 1896
Torrington, Conn.,
Mr. Wilford Woodruff
Dear Sir:
I will begin
my letter by introducing myself
as the wife of Homer Chidsey
Wheeler of Torrington, son of Amos
Wheeler and Martha Chidsey, his
wife who were of Avon, Ct.
My husband, upon seeing an en-
graving of your face, illustrating
an item on the "Latter day Saints"
in the Christian herald, spoke of
your relation to his family, and
right away I thought you might
be able, if you are willing to
help me in a matter of geneology,
which is my motive for writing
this letter.

Werther Bruder im Herrn
Ich fühle mich veranlast im
interesse des Reiches Gottes zu
schreiben wie sie wohl wissen werden
habe ich vor einem Jahr an Ihnen
geschrieben das hier nach Deutscher
Misson verlangt wurde was auch die
Ältesten bestätigt haben die durchgereist
sind, ich bekam sofort Bescheid von
Br. Clark das er einen Deutschen Altesten
senden wird, sofort nam ich einen Platz
für Versamlung das hat gekostet 7 Dolar
den Monat und dieses war 3 Monat
lang in dieser Zeit kamen auch
Englische Alteste, und ^ich^ habe Anocen
einsetzen lassen in die zeitung und
so sind die meisten Mitglieder zusammen
gekomen so das der Platz zu klein
war und ^musste^ ich um einen andrn Platz
