Letter from Frank Knetchel Seegmiller, 15 December 1895

Snowflake, A. T., . Pres. Wilford Woodruff, Box B. Salt Lake City, Dear Brother: Yours of 23 ult., calling me to take a mission to the Southern States has been received. I had made quite extensive preparations toward attending College next year, and had gone so far as to select the University I was going to attend in connection with Bro. B. A. Perkins of the L. D. S. College. The call was therefore a very great surprise to me, but with me in this as in all matters where my future welfare, and in a miniature way the welfare of Zion, are at stake I feel to risk myself in the hands of the Almighty, for I feel unless the call had been inspired by him it would never

Circular to the YMMIA, 15 December 1895

SALT LAKE CITY, . To the Officers and Members of the Young Men's Mutual Improvement Associations throughout Zion: Dear Brethren—There have already been issued and distributed among the Stakes of Zion 17,500 copies of the Mutual Improvement Association Manual, Part I, and still there is a de- mand for this work for use among new members of these associations. There is also a call for a compilation of ad- vanced lessons of Manual, Part II, which have been and will continue to be published in the Contributor. Through the failure of the young men in paying their annual fifty cent donations the General Superintend- ency are unable to publish and distrib- ute free these works, upon which the success of the associations so greatly depends. Under the pressing circumstances it is deemed advisable to secure the pub- lication of a new edition of Manual, Part I, and a pamphlet containing twelve lessons in each of the subjects planned for Manual, Part II. The Contributor Co., therefore, act- ing under our approval and advice, will issue another edition of Part I of the Manual, which they will sell the associations at twenty-five cents (25c.) per copy postpaid, with reasonable re- duction in quantities. They will also issue for the use of the associations which have completed Part I, and need some more advanced studies, a pamphlet containing the first twelve (12) lessons in each of the subjects planned for Part II. This will be sold at fifteen cents (15c.) per copy, postpaid. Both of these pamphlets will be on sale at the Contributor Office, Salt Lake City, where they can be ob- tained at any time after December 26, 1894. We hope the young men will take an interest in these lessons and pur- chase them regularly, thus acquiring a fund of information which will be use- ful to them in the ministry, either at home or abroad. Your Brethren in the Gospel, WILFORD WOODRUFF, JOSEPH F. SMITH, MOSES THATCHER.
