Letter from John Crompton Rushton, 17 January 1898

Iona, Idaho, Pres. Wilford Woodruff Salt Lake City Dear Bro. I rec'd notice last July that my name had been selected for a mission. Also sometime later, that I had been assigned to labor in Great Britain, and to be prepared to start some time in February [18]98 And that the exact date of depart- ure would be sent me in due time. Thinking that possibly that this last item the notifying in regard to exact date of departure has been overlooked, I write you this trusting that if same has been decided upon that you will kindly let me know as soon as possible, And oblige. Yours truly, Jno. C. Rushton.

Letter from Edward Partridge, b. 1833, 17 January 1898

Provo City, Utah, President W. Woodruff and Counsellors, Dear Brethren, In compliance with your request for missionaries in a letter of the 18th Dec. I herewith send you the names of eight, but I have learned since the names were entered upon the blank that Bro. Niels Johnson is not in financial circumstances to go. I have not spoken with him or any of the brethren as it has been my instructions not to do so, but there being a space in the blanks for the information as to the time they will be ready to go I see that some of the Bishops have spoken with the brethren and incerted that information. Now in endorsing these brethren for missions I do it entirely upon the recommendation of their Bishops and what I can learn incidently about them Without meeting them and talking with them this is the best I can do. I have always tried to be as careful as possible to get worthy men for missionaries but in most cases I have to depend upon the word of the Bishops, and if the Bishop does not communicate directly with the men themselves he is not able to indorse
