Letter from George Teasdale, 6 December 1887
President Wilford Woodruff & Council. My dear brethren: I have forwarded to Brother F. D. Richards for the council the interpretation of the decision of the Swiss Confederation in the case of Bro. J. K. Loosli. I send an extract from a letter received from President Schoenfeldt dated Nov. 28. "Your letters of Oct. 17 & 21 containing your valuable counsel in regard to the measures of the Swiss Federal Council against our missionary pursuits, have been received and according [to] promise we enclose an english translation of the [r]ediculous unjust document for your perusal. As a [G]erman document I would pronounce it an effort of education to strike at the liberties of the poor. After I had received your letters I went before the Lord in fasting and supplication to aid me in operating so that every word of your counsel would be obeyed, and the same put in such a shape, as to be most successful to our purpose in accordance with the usages of this country. I [c]alled a Conference of the leading Elders of the Swiss native Elders and Saints male and fe- male. Elder Spori was appointed chairman and the sentiments of that meeting were heard, and resolved that a petition be drawn up in all Switzerland, and Spori was appointed to all of that document. [illegible] document was drawn up
