Letter to John Taylor, 11 December 1883
President John Taylor,
Dear Brother:
We have held
meetings at Minersville, Cedar,
Kanarra, and Leeds. We arrived
here at noon to-day in good health
and spirits. We had full houses
and spirited teachings, whilst upon
our journey. I met in council this
afternoon with brothers Snow, Teas-
dale, McAllister and Eyring, and
have carefully selected a list of
names, which we forward for your
consideration. I have trusted more
to the judgment of brothers Snow
McAllister and Eyring in many
of the names, than my own, be-
cause they were acquainted with
them. We have endeavored as far
as we could in safety to add the
Bishops of the various wards to our
number. Please scan the list of
names and if approved telegraph
"consent." As the brethren in this list
will mostly be in to conference please
telegraph so that I can notify them
Brother Lyman, we expect, will
be with us on Saturday. All
