Letter from Morgan Richards Jr., 26 March 1888
[end of sideways text] OFFICE OF PRESIDENCY OF Parowan Stake of Zion, Parowan, Iron Co, Utah, Mar 26, 1888 Prest. Wilford Woodruff, Dear Bro. : I sent telegram to Elder Geo.

Having heard nothing whatever since then about the manuscript, I thought I would, if you will par- don me, trouble you again with a few lines on the subject.
