Letter from Charles Ora Card, 19 May 1898
Prest. Wilford Woodruff
Salt Lake City Utah
Dear Brother
We are much in need of
more aid in the Manatoba mission, and can
any way be suggested to avoid the brethren
that have received their endowments going to
Salt Lake City to be set apart for the money
spent in fare to that point will take them
into their field of labor.
While there at the April Conference
I presented names for this mission but to
date, none have received any notice.
Sickness has taken 2 Elders out of the
mission and now we are short handed.
Awaiting your instructions
I remain Your Brother
