Dear Brother:

There is a matter which I wish to place before you. About a year ago my granddaughter Mabel White was married to Wilfred D. Workman, a sturdy young man about twenty-six years old. He has had an all-round experience as a farmer and a good experience as a canvasser. 22LtMs, Lt 236, 1907, par. 1

Since their marriage he and Mabel have had quite an experience in bearing responsibility. He was manager of the outside work at the Healdsburg College, and Mabel was matron. He desires to get an all-round experience as a teacher, builder, and business manager; and we would be pleased to see him connected with you, working upon the new school building that our brethren are talking of erecting this fall. 22LtMs, Lt 236, 1907, par. 2

He has worked hard for his school advantages thus far. We find him to be a man of excellent principle, as well as a capable worker. W. C. White and I are anxious that he should find a place with you and learn what he can of the art of building. Later on he may be able to connect with the school. In his work he is prompt and faithful, and I think he will be a help and not a hindrance. 22LtMs, Lt 236, 1907, par. 3

Will you please to consider our request, and secure for him a place on the work, if you can. Let me hear from you soon. 22LtMs, Lt 236, 1907, par. 4
