Letter to Jason Mack, 16 February 1888
To Jason Mack,
Care Hon. J. T. Caine,
H. of R. Washington. D. C.
John W. Young asked for twenty
five thousand. We asked him do nothing
about submitting any document to Senate,
or about finances until you arrived. He
replied must have fifteen thousand by
Wednesday, and ten thousand to complete bargain.
He has embarrassed us by not consulting us
for our friends can do better. Can you get
Committee to -[withold]- report until March
fourth, as every, thing can be arranged satis-
factorily by that time. Friends -[say]- if
Committee desire to act in good faith they
will accept this.
Wilford Woodruff.
George Q. Cannon.
