Letter from Emily Sophia Tanner Richards, 28 September 1887

Letter from Richard Whitehead Young, 28 September 1887

Salt Lake City, Utah, The Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, Dear Brethren: Your decision to assist my mother has been communicated to me, and I desire to express to you our gratitude for your generous action. You are all, probably, aware that I have been admitted as an attorney and counselor in the higest court of New York, and that I have since my graduation at the Law School of Columbia College devoted myself more or less to the pursuit of legal law. It is my intention to continue my law studies since I believe that as is speculated in that direction I shall succeed better in the Army and at the same time provide myself with a propension for civil life, if circumstances at some future day render it advisable that I leave the service. I would therefore suggest to your respect- ful consideration that I be employed by you for such services in the direction indicated as I shall be able to render. After performing my military duties I shall always have time which I could spend either in consultation or research, or in such way as superior counsel might indicate. I might, if thought desirable

Letter from Marriner Wood Merrill, 28 September 1887

Prest W. Woodruff. Dear Brother Esther Beddis, now dead, married Thomas Price in her youth and embraced the Gospel during his lifetime. he did not embrace the Gospel, but died a believer, the result of this marriage was 2 children. viz; Emma Price Berry, now living in the Church, and Thomas Price who died about 3 months old. After the death of Thomas Price, Esther Beddis Price married John Berry who joined the church soon after their marriage. they lived together about 15 years, when the Mother died in full fellowship. John Berry then married Emma Price the daughter of Thomas Price and his (Berry's) late wife Esther Beddis Price Berry. John Berry then died a good faithful Saint. Now comes Sister Emma Price Berry and wants to be sealed, and also have her mother sealed to their ^dead^ husband John Berry. Also asking that her dead brother Thomas Price Jr and herself be sealed to her husband John Berry and her Mother, as a child. Does this meet your approval? Your Brother in the Gospel M. W. Merrill
