Letter from Rudger Clawson, 29 December 1887
Prest Wilford Woodruff, Dear Brother: Your kind letter of the 23rd inst., notifying me of the action taken by the Council of the Apostles, in relation to my- self, has been duly received. I hardly know what to say in ans- wer thereto, as, in view of the great responsibility attached to the Presidency of a Stake, I feel my unfitness, for an office of this kind. However, I shall endeavor to take a course that will merit the confidence of the Lord and of my brethern. This is and ever has been the chief aim of my life. I fully appreciate and thank you for the generous provision that was made to assist me in getting a home. Asking for your faith and prayers in my behalf, as proffered, and ever praying for the welfare of Zion, I remain, Your brother, Rudger Clawson.
