Letter to Karl Gottfried Maeser, 26 June 1888
Professor Karl G. Maeser, Provo. Dear Brother: Your favor of the 22nd. inst. has been received and its contents have been considered. There is every prospect at the present time that Brother James E. Talmage will be needed here at the commencement of this academic year as the Principal of the academy that we propose starting in this city, and we trust that no arrangement will be made that will interfere with this purfpose. Salt Lake City stands more in need of a good academy than any other place in the Territory. There are so many schools here of an attractive character, as well as our University, that we do not wish to be placed at a disadvantage in any way, if we can possibly help it, whenever we open.

Letter from Luman W. Shurtliff and Charles F. Middleton, 26 June 1888
Ogden President Wilford Woodruff Salt Lake City UT Dear Brother Your letter of may 31st in regard to the Plain City Meeting house and the title to the land on which it is being constructed, came to hand and has been considered, we have procured an abstract of the title, which we send to you. The title is now vested in the building committee one of whom has lately gone to England on a mission. The last named grantors mentioned in the abstract all the hairs of Alexander Shoemaker now deceased. The reason the title is not vested in the ward corporation is because the meetings and the business of the corporation has not been properly kept up, and they would like your council as to the advisability of re-incorprating and having the property conveyed to the corperation. In our judgement there is no danger of the
