Letter to Zina D. Young, 16 September 1887

Mrs Zina D. H Young, Dear Sister: Your letter of sepr 15th has been received and perused with much interest and pleasure. I am glad to know that you are able, walso willing to cdevote your time and talents in the interest of God's work here upon the earth—in visiting with and raising your voice in counsel among your Sisters in the various settlements in Zion. In regard to your making a visit to the Saints who are located over the line in the Domin- ion of Canada, I would say, if you feel like going we certainly feel to approbate your doing so.

Letter from George Teasdale, 16 September 1887

President W. Woodruff and Councils My dear brethren: Since I wrote you last I have had two very interesting visits one to London and Wales Conferences. In the ex- pectation of you sending me seven good mission- aries I have released seven to return home whose time for two years is about out. I found the Elders energetic and in good spirits although they do not seem to be very much encouraged as far as baptisms are concerned. It appears from their reports that there are many dead branches many names represented who really have no standing. Out of the 294 members represented in the Welsh Mission they count 80 that only have a name are lost or who wish to have their names removed. We have 10 elders labor- ing in that principality. In the London Con- ference it is the same. They have a debt which will very likely never be paid being the debts of the various Conferences that have been joined to the London Conference when have Conferences only consisted of scattered members. I enclose some clippings from some of the "Dailys." We had quite a warm time but God protected us and delivered us
