[close sideways text] Dean, Jos. H. Honolulu Monday Feb. 13th 1888. Prest, W. Woodruff ^and^ Geo. Q.

Letter from Oliver Boardman Huntington, 13 February 1888
Springville Utah To President Wilford Woodruff and the Twelve Apostles of Jesus in the last days. Beloved Brethren. While I sorrow over the condition of many of our Brethren, I rejoice in the work in which we are all engaged; and also in the priviliges we continue to enjoy, by the mercy of God, and not of man. I herewith submit for your approval or correction an Epitaph that I have prepared for the Monument being erected at Pisgah Iowa, as follows. "This monument was built ^erected^ by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints A.D. 1888. In memory of the Saints ^members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints^ who fell by the hand of death in ^during^ the years 1846-1847-1848, in their exodus from Nauvoo to the then unknown regions beyond the Rocky Mountains—now known as Utah." Among the Dead that sleep here was ^are^ William Huntington—^who was the^ presiding officer of a temporary settlement upon ^this^ land before ^which was then^ unsettled and unowned by white people. Isaac Phinehas Richards son of Apostle ^Elder^ Franklin D. Richards.
