Letter from Daniel Webster Jones, 23 January 1888
Salt Lake City, Utah,
Pres Woodruff
Dr Bro
You are doubtless aware that I
have offered to assist in the purchase
of some particular tracts of land in
Mexico, these Lands are still for
sale (most of them) I received a letter
dated the 14th from Chihuahua
offering a better tract than any
heretofore offered. There are nine pieces
that I am authorized to find buyers
for the price being from the owners
and not from Land Speculators
I have not tried as yet to find
buyers outside hoping that some
of our people would buy provided
the Lands were wanted.
The time has now come when
these properties are getting in demand
by Outside Speculators I have the
Chance of making sales accordingly
I need money and have a chance to
make something. If I do not act
