Letter to Francis Asbury Hammond, 18 January 1888
Salt Lake City, . President F. A. Hammond, Bluff City, San Juan Co. Dear Brother: Your very interesting and newsy letter of Jan. 8th came to hand yesterday. I was much pleased to hear of the good feelings manifest among the Saints of your Stake under their present peculiar circumstances. Now that you have Elders Young and Smith with you I sincerely trust that whatever shall be done will be for the welfare of all concerned. You will, of course, have laid before those brethren the advantages of the place for a settlement which you relate in your letter, of which they may be conversant or will go and see so as to learn all the available points in the interest of the Saints. We will take into consideration the names you have forwarded for mission- ary labor. I enclose herewith a letter for Dr. B. Hoven, which you will please hand to him, or forward to him if he should have left before its arrival. You will please excuse this brief letter, as I am in a hurry to get these letters off to you. My health is good, but I am kept very busy. All is moving along as usual. With kind regards, Your Brother, W Woodruff
