Letter from Simon Hugentobler, 2 January 1898
Salina,
President Wilford Woodruff.
Dear Brother
In reply to your
statement of the 31st I find that
mine of the 29th was misunderstood
by you in regard to my not
being much aquainted with the
language; I can speak and
understand it but not read it as
I was born in America. If it causes
no inconviences with you, would
prefer going to Switzerland as it
was my mothers desire before her
death that I should some day fulfill
a mission there, and get a genealogy
of her relatives. I will be ready to
leave S. L. C the 5th of Feb. [18]98.
as theology you first appointed. Please
state if this is agreeable with you
over.
