Letter from Myron E. Crandall, Jr., 14 June 1897

Springville, Utah, President's Office, Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Brethern, Last saturday I received a communication from President Partridge inquiring as to the probability of my being able to go on a mission to the Northern States at present, which letter I have answered. Owing to the fact tha[t] neither my bBishop nor my quorum, the elder's, know any thing about my name being sent to your office. I write to ask by whom was my name given you. I donot do this with any spirit of malice nor distrust but merely wish to satisfy my own self who presented the name. I had expected that either my Bishop or my Quorum President would do this and as it is a little out of the ordinary I naturally would be concerned. If my inquiry is not improper nor my desire in this wrong, I shall be pleased to have my curiosity satisfied. Your brother in the gospel Myron E. Crandall Jr [sideways text] Just tell him the truth. he does not understand all our ways of getting names &c. J. F. S. [end of sideways text]
