Letter from Andrew Jenson, 28 February 1888

Salt Lake City, Utah President Wilford Woodruff and Members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Dear Brethren! I feel impressed to write again to the Council of the Twelve concerning my historical labors. Hitherto I have received no material aid from any source whatever, except from ^the^ general subscription fees from regular subscribers; and neither can I consistantly look for any such encouragement from any public funds outside the Church, as long as I confine my labors to ecclesiastical affairs. Among the tasks which I have already accomplished, and to which I like to draw your espescial attention is the history of the Salt Lake Stake of Zion, including histories of all the wards, etc., which I have published in the "Historical Record", a copy of which I here with present the Council.

Williams and wife leave, there will be five left, viz: Elder Erastus B. Snow and wife, Elder Rogers & Collett and myself. The prospect in the mission is not flattering; quite a number had lately made enquiries in regard to the gospel, but scarcely any have retained their interest. I fear that our principles are too pure for many of this people, and when they find that they have to lead new lives, the necessary courage fails them. We are not discouraged, for we rely firmly upon the promises of God, but feel it our duty to represent facts to you. Especially is this the case, as the brethren of the Twelve have been very generous in furnishing
