Letter from Orlando Merrill, 7 November 1897
Mesa Arizona President Wilford Woodruff. Salt Lake City, Utah Dear Brother in responce to the call I Rec'd July 31st for a call ^mission^ to the Southeran States I will say that under my present financial circumstances I do not think that I could go and do Justice to my mission or the Church of Jesus Christ with my mind on a mortgaged Home and the indebtedness which I have become some considerably involved in. I do not think that Pres- ident Stokes fully understood my position when he sent my name in to headquarters now while do not wish ^to be^ forgotten in ^the^ missionary labor my feelings are that ^I^ shoud leave to my wife and little one a Home free from mortage at least therefore I ask for an extension of time. I have neglected writing thinking I might be able to fix my buisness up but the time is drawing nigh when I should start I remain as ever your Brother in the Gospel, Orlando Merrill Give him what time he needs to fix his affairs, and when ready he can report. J. F. S.
