Letter from William H. Wilkison, 24 January 1898

Honorable President Wilford Woodruff, Salt Lake City. Dear Brother: Your respectiful call for me to act as a Missionary in the Southern States was de- laid a few days on account of my not being home. I have been working here for the past three months which makes me able financially to comply with your honorable call, and to de- part from Salt Lake City March 17, 1898; I also feel well in the principals of the Gospel,

Letter from Benjamin Ritchie, 24 January 1898

Iona Prest Wilford Woodruff My Dear Brethren in the Gospel I received your letter stateing that you had selected me as a missionary to go into the world and preach the Gospel. I havent got a very good education I am a very poor reader but if it is your desire I am willing to go and do the best I can with the help of the lord. I dont think I am a^n^ axemp- leary man on the account of my education but if it is the lords will I will do the best that I can I have been on called on a home mission

Letter from John Hansen Jr., 24 January 1898

Utah. . Pres. Woodruff, Salt Lake City, Utah, Dear Bro., I recieved a notice to be ready to start on a mission to the Northern States, June 16, 1898. This date is not con- venient to me. If it is agreeable with you ^I^ should like the date fixed at an earlier period, about Apr. 20th 1898. My school will close Apr. 15, and I think five days will be ample to make the necessary preparation. I shall call on the Missionary committee as soon as I can get into the city. I trust this change in date will not derange your plans ma- terially. Your Bro. in the Gospel John Hansen Jr.

Letter from Madison Neff Fisher, 24 January 1898

Your Brother Madison N. Fisher John Neff Bp

Letter from Stephen Decatur Greer, 24 January 1898

Letter from Willis E. Robison, Hans Martin Hansen, and Gearson Sanders Bastian, 24 January 1898

LOA, WAYNE COUNTY, UTAH President Wilford Woodruff Salt Lake City Dear Brother we hereby take the liberty of saying to you in regard to Elder John C Jacobs of the Teasdale ward in this stake, who expects to go on a mission next spring, that we feel that brother Jacobs will be of little value as a traveling elder in the field on account of his physical condition, his health is not good, and he is subject to some kind of heart affliction by spells, that in our Judgement would be sufficient grounds for a release from his call, coupled with this while he is making preperations to respond to the call, yet in our opinion he seems to feel quite downcast about it, which is probably on account of his health more than any thing else. Bro. Jacobs is a good man and a willing worker in the kingdom, and we wrote you some time ago asking permission to use him as bishops counsellor, but we made another selection instead. But we now feel to present his condition to you as stated above, so if you should feel to release him it might be done before he arranged his business during his absense, or disposed of some property to help cary him to his field of labor, that he would not other-wise dispose of trusting you will pardon these suggestions, we remain your brethren in the gospel Willis E Robison Hans M. Hansen Gersen S Bastian On this howing by all means honorably release him. J. F. S.
