Letter from Parley Parker Pratt Jr., 5 November 1888
P. P. Pratt City Rcd Nov 7 [18]88. referred to the apostles [end of sideways text] Salt Lake City, Nov 5, 1888. Prest. W. Woodruff, Dear Bro, Your favor of Oct 31 duly received. My object in asking for a personal interview, was that I might present you fully the claims the family have against the Church, on account of father's publications. This subject having been under consideration for so many years, and having refered to the same so often, with no aparent results, I feel almost mortified in my feelings, to be obliged to refer to it again, and wer it simply a personal matter, I am sure I would be loth to speak of the subject again: but when I think of father's aged widdows, one of whom is lame, & annother palsied, I feel that it is my duty to still keep pleading. Pres. Young in his day acknowledged the claims of the family, in regard to fathers writings, to be just; but nothing was done.
