Edward Hunter Snow

Edward Hunter Snow served a mission to the Southern States Mission at the age of 20, but he was again called to serve at age 33, this time to the Eastern States Mission. He wrote a letter saying he was willing to serve, but since he had already done so in the United States he’d rather go to England. The letter was even endorsed by his stake presidency, which included, as second counselor, his half-brother Erastus B. Snow, who had served in the British Mission.

We don’t have the official response denying this request, but whatever it said, Edward found “the explanation . . . perfectly satisfactory.” He wrote back that he was still ready to serve in the Eastern States Mission.
