Letter to John Taylor and George Quayle Cannon, 9 September 1885
President John Taylor and Geo. Q. Cannon, Dear Brethren, I understand from letters from Salt Lake City, that Mrs. A. S. B. Jennings, who is now in Salt Lake City, is applying for the Post Mastership of Salt Lake City. I have been requested to recommend her to Hon. John T. Caine. I will say that I have formed a very favorable acquaintance with her at the Muddy and at St. George. I believe her to be a true friend to the Peoples Party in Utah. she has proved a friend to our people at the Muddy, and wherever she has dwelt among them, and I think it would prove a blessing to the majority of the Citizens of Utah, if she could obtain the office. I believe she has the ability to manage and magnify the office, and she is indorsed by politicians as a staunch Democrat, which may be of some influence with them. Your Brother in the Gospel W.
