Letter from Ernest Saville, 18 April 1898

Mill Creek, . Pres. Woodruff, Salt Lake City. Dear Brother: Through the Authority of the Priesthood I your humble Servant received a call to work abroad in the work of the Ministry, and in my weak and humble way spread the Eternal truth's amoung the people of the South- Western States. I feel among the weakest to sholder such a responsibility, but am willing and anxious to save the Soals of men. and if the Lord and his delagated Servants see fit I will be ready to take my departure on the 12th day of May. Respectfully your Obedient, in the cause of Truth Ernest Saville, Mill Creek. James C Hamilton

Letter from John F. F. Dorius, 18 April 1898

Ephraim . President Wilford Woodruff! Salt Lake City Beloved Brother! Your letter of April 7th inst. was recieved by my family while I was in Salt Lake City attending conference, but they sent it to me and, in reading the suggestion, and also re[f]lection for me to take a mission to the "Northern States" or (Chicago) will say: as to my feelings regarding this call; that I am perfectly willing to accept the same; but as I just returned from said mission about 4 months ago, I would wish a short extend- ing of time, to make a few arrangements at home, and also do I have an idea, of obtaining a favor regarding my railroad fare from the R Y officials, the reason for which, is well known to Elders Geo.

Letter from Frederick Ellis Barker, 18 April 1896

Queensland, Australia, . Prests. Wilford Woodruff, Geo. Q. Cannon, and Joseph F. Smith, Salt Lake, Utah. Beloved Brethren: Your letter of March 8th, apprising me of the honorable release of Elder Andrew Smith, Jr., from the position of President of the Australian Mission and appoint- ing me to that position, came to hand to-day. While feeling keenly the sense of my weakness and un- worthiness thus to be honored with this important and very responsible station, I feel very thankful to receive in con- nection therewith your prayers and blessing, which I prize above all things of the earth. I have felt the blessings of God so far with me in this mission, and I am now constrained to say that with the same continued upon me (which I shall claim, and believe I shall have, in redoubled measure) I will do my best in every way to merit the confidence reposed in me by you and to further the interests of this mission, so far as may lie in my power. I was about a month ago installed here in the po- sition of Pres't of the Queensland conference, taking the place of Bro. Wm Armstrong, who went to labor at Sydney among his relatives
