Scope and Contents

In 1899, Joseph J. Cannon was called to serve a mission in Stockholm, Sweden. In 1901, he receives word that his father, George Q. Cannon has died. In 1902, he was transferred from Sweden to Liverpool, England where he finished the rest of his mission. Most of the letters are from his mother, Sarah Jenne Cannon, and his brother Hugh Cannon, who was also serving a mission in Europe. Within these folders are also letters from important figures in the LDS Church: Heber J. Grant and David O. McKay.
