Salt Lake City, U. T. . Presidents David K. Udall, E. N. Freeman, and Wm H. Gibbons, St. Johns. Dear Brethren: Your letter of the 1st inst. in relation to the Church real estate in your Ward, and stating the necessity for its speedy organization, came duly to hand and has been considered. We have decided that it would be better for Brother Jesse N. Smith to join you at St. Johns, as quickly as possible, and that you employ such legal ability as you may think best when the Court commences at your town to accomplish the end you

Letter from Andrew Kimball, 9 April 1888

President Woodruff Dear Brother: I am thankful to report that there is a good work being done in the Indian Territory at present. Elders Jack and Woolley have con- tinued their labors in new fields most- ly in the Choctaw nation. They have reported as high as twelve meetings in a three weeks trip, have gained access to the M.E. church and having many favorable opportunities of preaching and doing good. They have been priveledged by having many natives to talk to and are opening up a good and lasting work they baptized one a lady, sister A Sister Mobey, they are well. As you will remember Bro. Booth was and has been verry sick for a long time. Elder Jos. F.

Smith reports the true con- dition of Bro Booth: After having improved for quite a season on

Letter to Charles Edmund Richardson, 9 April 1888

Salt Lake City, U. T. Elder C. Richardson, Quijotoa, Pima Co. Arizona. Dear Brother: Your favor of the 27th of March came Duly to hand and was perused with great interest. It is delightful to hear of the progress that you are making on your mission, and that you are so successful in reaching the hearts of the people and leading them them into the waters of baptism. We trust that this labor will not be ^an^ Ephemeral one, but that the seed planted will grow and increase until a rich harvest shall be gathered as the fruits of your labors. We have not treated the Lamanites with that care and have not nursed and watched over them with that assiduity that they deserve and that the whites

Letter from Milando Merrill Pratt, 9 April 1888

Ans April 9 1888 [end of sideways text] MILANDO PRATT, NOTARY PUBLIC. O. P. PRATT. LORUS PRATT. OFFICE OF Pratt Brothers, REAL ESTATE, LOAN & RENTAL AGENTS DEALERS IN CITY PROPERTY, FARMS, RANCHES, ETC. Office in Co-op. Furniture Store, No. 41 S. Main Street. Salt Lake City, Utah, President Wilford Woodruff, Dear Brother—The writer of the enclosed letter is a lady who spent several weeks, about last Fall Conference time, visiting our city. Herself and husband have traveled quite extensively through Mexico. She stayed at my house several weeks while here, and she seemed quite conversant with the Spanish language. I submit her letter to you thinking per- haps it may be of some use to the Church should it feel inclined to colonize in that direction. While here she seemed kindly disposed toward our people and deprecated the action of our enemies. With kind regards to yourself and those associated with you and praying the Lord to bless and preserve you for the interest and wel- fare of His people, I am, as ever, Your Bro. in the Gospel, Milando Pratt.
