Letter to John Taylor, 27 January 1885
President John Taylor,
Dear Brother:
We have
felt it wisdom for Bro. Teasdale
to return to Salt Lake to have an
interview with you and lay
before you the apparent pros-
pects of the people here for
your consideration and ad-
vice. Considering the signs of
the times would it not be
wisdom to have some public
arms in the Temple for its de-
fence. I hold in my hands (10600
one hundred and six dollars
paid me by Bro Dalton of Paro-
wan, on the church saw mill of
Arizona which I was requested
to hand to Bro Erastus Snow
as he had done the business in that
affair. Can we have your consent
to use this means to furnish arms
for the Temple. We are all well Kind
love to all. Your brother in the Gospel
W Woodruff
