Letter from Marriner Wood Merrill, 28 April 1888
Prest Wilford Woodruff Dear Brothere one week from to day our quarterly conference convenes at this place, and if it is conveient we would like some of the Apostles with us to council and instruct our people, as there ^are^ some twelve Bishops of this Stake and maney other leading men who cannot be present at our conference to give aid and encourgement to the work of the Lord; and would you advise the sending out of the High Counsollers and the alternates as Home Missionaries in the Stake. Our Temple work goes nicely along, but our companies are not as large as formerly, as you will see by our monthly report. we have I think effectually cured the leakage in the Temple roof, as we have seen no sighns of wet coming through in the recent storms ever desireous for you safety and Health I am Respectfully your Bro & Co laborer M. W. Merrill
