Liverpool, March 5th, 1895

President W. Woodruff,
Salt Lake City

Dear Brother:

Since mailing my letter I have received a letter from Pres. Naegele giving the source whence he had his information and a few particulars which I will copy and try to get into the mail before it is closed. Brother Naegele writes: "Stutgard, Germany, March 4th, 1895. You will no doubt be surprised to hear from me here, and the telegram just sent; if you had not already learned of the sad death of Elder J.A. Clark at Haifa, Palestine, it will be a shock to you as it was to me. The letter bearing the news from a Sister Kagel was dated Haifa, February 12th, and stated: "Last Friday night at one o'clock Brother John Clark died here of small-pox and was buried the following day." The sister did not know the address of his parents, nor, at the time of writing, the address of Pres. Robinson hence addressed her letter here. Elder Clark, she says, was sick nine days. It was with deep regret that they parted with him. He was living with a family named Hilt, but spent much of his time in visiting the Arabs in the City, and it was there that he was exposed to the dreaded disease. I did not know whether you had received word or not, as she said that Bro. Robinson was not there, so I at once telegraphed to you, and thought that you would wire home. It was indeed sad. I just received a letter from him a short time ago in which he stated that he was able to converse in Arabic language and felt quite encouraged.

Yours hurriedly

Anthon H. Lund.
