Letter to Joseph Fielding Smith, 19 April 1888
Salt Lake City, U. T. . Elder Joseph F. Smith, Washington, D. C. Dear Brother Joseph F: Your favors of March 30th, April 6th, 10th, & 12th, with newspaper clippings, and a letter from Geo. T.

Letter from Arthur Stayner, 19 April 1888
Received April 21 [18]88 [end of sideways text] Salt Lake City April 19th 1888 Prest. Wilford Woodruff Dear Brother: Very respectfully I submit the following: I have the opportunity of purchasing certain lands on the Provo Bench, (the point which I have selected as the most suitable to establish the first plantation and factory for sugar) surrounding, or contiguous to, two sections of University lands, costing something less than $15000$— an average of $1700 per acre; also of purchasing for $10,000 the water right of the Provo Woollen Mills, sufficient to irrigate 5000 acres. By purchasing this land I can secure the two sections of University land. An Eastern party is trying to secure these very lands in order to introduce a colony of strangers upon that very section of country. With a little help from you I can secure this location. The brethren who have promised money on the Sugar industry will [keep] their promises
