Letter from Joseph Hammond, 22 March 1884
St. George .
President Willford Woodruff
Dear Brother,
I was called in the fall of 1861
in common with others to come
and found this colony. I reported
immediately at this place, since
which time the leading men
of the southern mission have
always known where to find
me. at the completion of the
St. George Temple you will
probably recollect that I was
called with others to labor in
that holy building. being A
practical thresherman, and own-
ing pretty well worn threshing
Machine. you will also recolect
excusing me from Temple labor
during the threshing season.
