Letter from David Spilsbury, 11 April 1898

Spilsbury Toquerville, Utah. April 11th 1898. Pres't Woodruff, Dear Bro. I received your letter appointing me to the Eastern States, to leave Salt Lake May 28th In reply will say, if all is well and the Lord will bless me (and I know He will if I do that which is required of me), I will be there at the appointed time At first I felt that I would have to ask for a few months time in which to prepare, but after much reflection, and earnest supplication, I have concluded to go at the appointed time to do all that I possibly can and let the rest go; for I have

Letter from Hans Poulsen Rasmussen, 11 April 1898

MOLEN, Utah, Prs: Wilford Woodruff. Dear Brother I am sorry that I have to inform you that the young man Martinus Larson there is caled to go on a mission to the Northeren States is not able to go, when he reseived his call I told him to think that matter over and see what he could do. a while after came to me and told me that he would go on that mission, and handed me a letter to that efect. I asked him if he had the money so he could go, he told me yes he thought that would be alright, and as his Father and Brothers are considred pretty well of and that he had some himself. I signed the letter with him, we got for him from the Ward some over $50 which I thought was pretty well as this is a very small Ward, and the majority of the People are poor, but of course it would not be enogh, it have always been my desire to run in excuses for my Brethren, and I would do it in this case if I could.

Letter from Samuel Alma Greenwood, 11 April 1898

Fillmore, . Wilford Woodruff, Dear Brother, In reply to your communication, assigning me a mission in Great Britain will state that I am perfectly satisfied with the call and will be willing to leave at the assigned date. I have always realized and considered that someday I would be obligated to fill a mission and now that the opportunity has presented it's self am wiling to take advantage of the same. I am young and inexper- ienced and practically unacquainted with the principles of the Gospel, but I know that if I am humble and sincere and place myself in the hands of God as an instrument with which to spread his Gospel among the nations of the earth hHe will crown my efforts with success.
