Letter to B. F. Duffin, 16 August 1887
Elder B. F. Duffin Dear Brother: Your letter of Aug. 3rd. has been received. In reply thereto I would say that it will be allright -[sic]- for you to go to the Temple and attend to the work you wish to perform there, and then return to your field of labor. I expect we shall see Brother Brigham Young before very long. Please keep me advised of what you are doing in your field. I heard that there was some difficulty with the Navagoes -[sic]- and that soldiers were taking an active part in the matter. All is well with us. Your Brother in the Gospel, Wilford Woodruff
Letter from Karl Gottfried Maeser, 16 August 1887
Provo City, Utah, President Wilford Woodruff. Dear Brother, Our Academy having recommenced its labors, on Monday Aug. 8, I herewith take the liberty of sub- mitting to the Quorum of the Twelve, as it has been done every year, the names of ten of our Normal Students of the Senior Class, who solicit the privi- lege of free tuition under the Church appropriation for the twelfth academic year. AlOsar Vance, of Alpine; Samuel Cornwall, of Mill Creek; Mat- tie Nelson, of Goshen; Jedeiah Taylor, and Nephi Savage, both of Pyson; Jeannette Findley, of Panacca, Nev.; Newton and Frank Noyes, of Fillmore; Enoch Jorgensen, of Ephraim; and Grace Tanner, of Provo. All these are worthy students and faithful Latter day Saints. In answer to my report concerning my educa- tional tour through some of the Stakes of Zion dur- ing the last summer vacation, President Geo. Q. Cannon wrote me under date of July 30th that the suggestion of a general organization of the al- ready existing Churchschools and others get to be star- ted would probably be taken into consideration by
