Letter from Charles Arthur Welch, 21 November 1888

President Wilford Woodruff. Dear Brother On Friday November the 16th 1888 a Board of Education for the Morgan Stake of Zion was nom- inated by the Presidincy of the Stake and approved by the High Council, con- sisting of the following brethren: W. G. Smith, Richard Fry, Samuel Francis Thomas R. G. Welch and Charles A. Welch. These brethren were sustained by the Saints at the Quarterly Conference on the 19th day of November. The Board have met and organ- ized with W. G. Smith as President Charles A. Welch Secretary and Samuel Francis Treasurer. We have rented a house and made arrangements for putting it in read- iness for opening school as early as the First Monday in December of this year providing we can secure a teacher from the proper source. We have considerable opposition to meet here with Free schools and have therefore placed the tuition very low, Viz: $250 per term. We therefore ask you to aid us all you can that we may get the academy started. over
