Letter from Parley Parker Pratt Jr., 3 August 1888

Salt Lake City, Utah, . President Wilford Woodruff. Dear Brother— As we are getting out a new edition of the "Life and Travels of Parley P. Pratt" we would be pleased to have you write a few lines in recommendation of the work to incorporate in the prospectus. You, Brother Woodruff, doubtless know the valuation of endorsements of this kind from influential members of the Church, and as this book is largely interwoven with many ^of the early^ historical events of our people, it would, we think, give the work more prestige among the Saints to have a few favorable comments from some of the leading brethren.

There are really but few left. I am glad that you have mentioned the birth of your daughter; for there is another claimant for the honor of being the first white child born in the Valley after the arrival of the Pioneers. As I now remember
