Letter to Brigham Young, 2 June 1877
To
President Brigham Young,
Salt Lake City.
Dear Brother,
Enclosed please
find Exhibit of Ordinance-work done in
St George Temple during the Month of May.
We worked during the month 5 days in
Baptizing averaging 721 per day; and we
gave Endowments 14 days averaging 129 En-
dowments per day.
We are thankful that a deeply earnest,
devout, spirit characterizes the administrations
of the brethren and sisters who assist in the
Temple and the same spirit evidently rests
upon those who are administered to.
Part of the month, as you have already
learned, my health has been poor, such indeed
as to keep me away from the Temple on some
of the working days. I thank the Lord my
health is much improved now, though some
of the saints say I look very thin and pale yet.
