Letter from William Spry, 18 August 1888
Chattanooga, Tenn., . President Wilford Woodruff Salt Lake City Utah Dear Brother: I arrived here last night feeling well, and for the first time learned of the death of Elder Edmond Z. Taylor. The intel- ligence was painful in the extreme, for he was a noble young man, and an earnest worker in spreading the gospel. His illness was of short duration, the cause of death being malarial fever, or at least is so supposed to be by his brethren and others who attended him. I was much pleased with the prompt action taken by Bro's Stookey and Roundy, in preparing the body for shipment. Everything was done to facilitate the same, and it left this city yesterday morning in charge of Elder John C. Harper.
