Letter to William Paxman, 9 September 1888
Salt Lake City, Utah, . President W. Paxman, Dear Brother: We wrote you by last mail but, being exceedingly busy at the time, did not answer the two questions you asked in your favor of the 3rd of July with regard to tracts and the emigration of our Maori converts. We shall send you an assortment of tracts by the Elders who next go to your field, and trust that by their means you will be able to accomplish much good. Respecting the emigration of the Maoris to this land, we feel led to say that for the present you had better repress any inclination of that character. If the work among the Pacific Islanders continues some provision will doubtless have to be made for their future colonization and development. It is not improbable that we shall be able to arrange after a while for some suitable place in a milder climate than ours, a climate the seasons of which would be like their own, and where it will not cost so much to live as it does in our own northern land. The Sandwich Islanders are moving here in small numbers; but their position is not such as is best adapted for their growth in those disrections that are desirable.
