Letter to Frederick Kesler, 1 October 1888

Salt Lake City, Utah, . Bishop Kesler, 16th Ward, City. Dear Brother: Your letter of Sept. 29th in regard to your labors in the Temple, and your wishes to attend to further ordinances for the dead, has been receeved. We do not know of any objections to yourself and wife attending to the ordinances you mention, and for the parties named when you are at the Temple on your next visit.

Letter to Thomas Edwin Ricks, 1 October 1888

Salt Lake City, Utah, . President Thomas E. Ricks, Rexburg. Dear Brother: At a meeting of the Church Board of Education, held to-day, the question of a principal for your academy was talked over at some length. After hearing Brother Maeser's explanations, we came to the conclusion that if Brother Spori would go to Provo Bro. Maeser could take him under his special care and in a few weeks have him prepared to do good service for you, and at the same time not postpone the opening of the academy for any great length of time. Brother Maeser has the matter at heart and will take great pains to advance Brother Spori as rapidly as possible, and with the present scarcity of suitable brethren, we do not know that you can do better than secure his services. With kind regards, Your Brother, President Church Board of Education. Wilford Woodruff

Letter to Ira Nathaniel Hinckley and J. V. Robinson, 1 October 1888

Salt Lake City, Utah Territory. . Presidents Iral N. Hickley and J. V. Robinson; Millard Stake. Dear Brethren: A meeting of the Church Board of Education was held to-day, at which the question of Brother Alma Greenwood's retention in or removal from Fillmore was considered with great care. It was finally concluded, as Brother Greenwood seems anxious to remove to Sanpete, that the entire matter be left to the Stake Boards of the Sanpete and Millard Stakes to arrange; and that Elder Edward W. Snow, of St George (a) son of the late Apostle Erastus Snow), al young man who is very highly recommended, fill one position and Brother Greenwood the other. If Brother Greenwood remains with you, then Brother Snow will take Ephraim Academy; but if Brother G. goes to Sanpete, then Brother Snow can be installed as your principal. With kind regards, Your Brother, President Church Board of Education, Wilford Woodruff

President John R. Murdock, Beaver. Dear Brother: At a meeting of the Church Board of Education held to-day, it was intimated that the Church Academy at Beaver had been made a free school and was so conducted at the present time. We desire to learn from you if this is so, and if so, what are your reasons for conducting it on this plan? With kind regards, Your Brother, President Church Board of Education. Wilford Woodruff
