Letter from William Arthur Reeve, 3 June 1888
President Wilford Woodruff Dear Brother I received your letter of the 23rd, and in reply to the call made of me to preach the Gospel, I will say yes, I will willingly go and do the best that I can. My circumstances are such that I do not think that I can very well leave home short of two months, at least but will try and leave by that time. Hoping that this will be satisfac- tory to you. Your Brother in the Gospel, Wm A. Reeve. Leroy. W. Beebe Bp
Letter to the Weber Stake Presidency, 3 June 1888
To the Presidency of Weber Stake: Dear Brethren— A meeting of the General Board of Education was held to-day, and the subject of the education- al interests of the Latter-day Saints was taken into consideration and discussed at some length. It was decided that a Board of Education, consisting of not less than five and not to exceed eight in number, should be selected in each Stake to take charge of and promote the interests of education in the Stake. This commun- ication is addressed to you to inform you of this action, and to have you select energetic men who are friends of education, who understand the needs of the people, and who have influence with the Saints, to carry out any suggestions in this di- rection that may be deemed proper. In the decision which was made by our Board it was made the duty of these Boards to take into consideration the formation of Church schools and the best method of accomplishing this, and after arriving at proper conclusions, to report them to the General Board. Communications of this character may be addressed to Elder George Reynolds, who is the Secretary of the Board. I was felt by the Board that, to begin with, there should be one Stake Academy established in each Stake as soon as practicable.
