Letter from Daniel Harrington, 11 August 1887
Salt Lake City, . Pres. Wilford Woodruff and The Quorum of Apostles: Dear Brethren: Through lack of time and a proper consideration of details, in my letter to you of the 8th inst., I failed to give you an idea of just who the party or parties would be who would undertake the work of preparing the subject matter for the history. In this regard I wrote to say that no definite arrangements have been made, but I have talked the matter over with various members of the family and it was partially understood, as George J. Pres. Taylor's oldest son, and myself had previously been ap- pointed by the family to write up a full obituary, that we carry the matter still farther and prepare a complete history, embodying reminiscenses, etc. Elder L. John Nuttall has also been referred to as a proper person to take part in the work; but it is not yet de- cided as to what names shall be attached
