Letter to John Daniel Thompson McAllister, 24 October 1888
Salt Lake City, Utah, Prest. J. D. T. McAllister. St. George. Dear Brother: Your letter of the 16th inst. respecting the time of your next Priesthood meeting; also of the 18th instant with a report of the High Council on the compensation of the Bishop's agent, Bishop and clerks in receiving and disbursing tithings, have been received. The next meeting of your priesthood, namely, Oct. 15th, will be a suitable time to present the appointments for the Stake Presidency, which can also be submitted to the Stake Conference which immediately follows. ^16 & 17th December [18]88^ The report of the High Council as to the compensation of the Bishop's agent, Bishops and clerks in receiving and disbursing the tithings is also quite sat- isfactory to us, inasmuch as you say the report of the committee was unanimously ac- cepted and approved. Yet we think that those of the third class are the poorest paid officers for the labor they perform My health is good with the exception of a cold which I have had for some time, but nothing serious. With kind regards, Your Brother, Wilford Woodruff

Well we have finally got our cause through the Utah Supreme Court and the Appeal gave up to the U.S. supreme Court so it gives me a Little rest upon that point for a while I dont know what the U.S Court will do with it. I have been spending a week on the shore of Utah Lake at Br Matsons to get away from business 4 of us in company we caught in all about 100 lbs of trout in Nets
