Letter to John Taylor and Council, 17 October 1879
Sunset Apache Co Arizona
President John Taylor & Council
Dear Brothers
We received the Deseret News
containing the account of the settlement
of the heir suit against the Executors
and Trustee and the Decisions of the Court
in the case and it truly caused our
hearts to rejoice for there has never
has been a more vexatious suit enacted
in this Church, as far a Dollars & cents were
concerned, and it has Gained me more
anxiety while spending than any other subject,
and I know it has the Council at home.
It has been the labor of my prayers Daily
before the Lord, and I feel to thank God
it has closed so well. I do not begrudge
the 7 Heirs what they will get in the settlement
for I would not have to pay the bills &
meet the reward they will receive both in
this world & the world to come for ten
thousand times what they have got, but I feel
to thank the Lord that your end liberated out
