Letter from Joseph Marion Tanner, 16 October 1887

Genoa, Italy . Pres. Wilford Woodruff Salt Lake, Utah, U. S. A. Dear Bro, Yours of Aug 9th reached me just before I left Palestine A short time before, I received a letter from Bro. Maeser and subsequently learn- ed that Elder J. E. Talmage had changed his programme so as to continue his labors in the Academy instead of going East as he intended. The latter circum- stance has caused me to feel that the Institution at Provo was well provided with teachers for the coming year. I understood your letter to be a release, leaving my association with the B. Y. Academy to myself, and not a special call to labor in that particular institution and so I have stopped along the way to visit cities and places of historical and scientific importance that I might be better qualified as a teacher in Zion
