Letter to Thomas Edwin Ricks, 14 June 1888
Salt Lake City, Utah, .
President Thomas E. Ricks and Counselors,
Rexburg.
Dear Brethren:
I have received your letter of the 11th inst. and am
very much gratified at mhearing of the visits that you have made to the Wards on
the north side of Snake River and the excellent spirit which you describe as pre-
vailing among the people, and that the Stake is in such a good condition temporally
and spiritually.
It will be quite right for you to organize the Egin
Ward and to appoint Brother Daniel G. Miller for Bishop. When any of the Twelve
visit that region his ordination can be attended to. In the meantime it will be
well to submit his name to the High Council for their approval, and also ascertain
whether he will be agreeable to the people.
With kind regards,
Your Brother,
Wilford Woodruff
