Letter from Thomas Edwin Ricks, 25 October 1887
Rexburg, Idaho, . Pres. Wilford Woodruff, Dear Bro. I arrived home safe from Conference on the 21st inst. travelling all the way by team found all well everything quiet. Blackfoot Court sits next Monday are expecting a visit from the marshalls about that time. I received yours of the 18th inst with order enclosed for $100000 in produce for which you have my thanks. We think it would do a great deal of good to have some of the apostles or seventies that are at liberty travel through our Stake as we are unable to appear in public Would be pleased to hear from you at any time on any subject and will strive to carry out any instructions you may be pleased to give Your Bro etc. T E Ricks
