Letter from Parley Parker Pratt Jr., 20 March 1888
[end of sideways text]
Salt Lake City, Mar 20, 1888.
Pres. W. Woodruff & Council,
Dear Brethren,
Some 14 years
ago, in 1874, by and with the
council & approval of Pres. B.
Young, I published a small
Edition, stereotyped, of my father's
"Life and Travels." The 1st Ed was
soon exhausted, and at the present
time there seems to be a demand
for the work. During the last six
months several of our local Book
Publishers have solicited me to have
a 2ond Edition of the Work printed &
placed on the market. Jos H. Parry,
& Abraham H. Cannon, being among
the number. Had thought to have the
work published on royalty; but the
prices offered being so low, I was
at a loss how to proceed.
The Plates having been bonded to
Russell Bros of New York, and being
desirous to release them, I called
upon Bro. R. K Thomas, who kindly
offered to confer with Russell Bros.
when East, and get terms, Etc.
For particulars please see inclosed
