Letter from A. Reilly, 28 November 1888
San Francisco, Wilford Woodruff Esq. P. O. Box B, Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Sir Your esteemed favor of the 16th ult. has but recently been received, owing to some unaccountable delay in the mail. Please accept thanks for the interest manifested in our proposition. In answer to your inquiry would say that the object of our journal is, as you may notice by the heading, to set forth the commercial, financial, manufacturing, and natural resources of the Pacific Coast. The principal feature of it is the special editions. Our aim is to devote one such to the interests of each distinct section of the coast states and territories. We have thus published one or two editions of nearly every
Circular to the young men and women of Zion, 28 November 1888
TO THE YOUNG PEOPLE. Circular of the General Superin- tendency to the M.I.A. To the Young Men and Women of Zion: It is with satisfaction and pleasure that we announce the publication of the First Year's Series of the Mutual Improvement Association Course of Reading. The five volumes which it comprises have been issued from the press, enclosed in a neat case, and are now ready for delivery. They are as follows: I. The Gospel, by B. H. Roberts. II. History of England, by Charles Dickens. III. First Book of Nature, by Jas. E. Talmage. IV. Life of Nephi, by George Q. Cannon. V. Readings from Washington Ir- ving. We have authorized the issue, by the Contributor Company, of three thous- and sets of this series, and trust there will be found among you many times that number of readers. Order blanks have been issued to the presidents of the Y.M.M.I.A. who have been requested to canvass for and receive subscriptions, in their respective wards. The books are sold only in sets, and profits arising from their sale will be reserved for the issue of succeeding [se]ries. The price per set of five vol- umes is $2.50 in advance. When pay- ments are made by instalment the price is $3 per set. All orders and re- mittances of money should be ad- dressed to the Contributor Company No. 40 Main Street, Salt Lake City. It is suggested that the reading be commenced as early as possible in December and continued through Jan- uary, February, March and April, fin- ishing in time for complete reports to be made by May 1st. The officers of Associations should keep a record of the number of readers and of those who answer the printed questions upon the themes treated of, which will be distributed to the readers later in the season. In recommending this Course of Reading to our young people it is in the hope that they will take up these books and read them carefully and methodically with a view to forming attentive and thoughtful habits of reading, and of thoroughly mastering the contents of the volumes read. We cannot over-estimate the good that will follow such a course if faithfully pursued; and we confidently solicit the kind consideration of our people, young and old, for this effort now be- ing made for the mental and moral improvement of the young men and women of Zion.

Letter to John Daniel Thompson McAllister, 28 November 1888
Salt Lake City, Utah, . President J. D. T. McAllister, St. George, Dear Brother: Your letter of Nov. 23rd, re- specting transfer of account on the Washington Factory books, came duly to hand. In reply I will say that if Bishop ^Preston^ has not given you any instructions on that matter, all that will be necessary is to charge the Trustee-in-trust acct. and credit the Presiding Bishop's Office acct. on the books of the factory. I am well aware that the amount asked to be transferred is not in the hands of the Church Association of St. George Stake, but is on the books of the Company, and it appears necessary for reasons, that the transfer should be made, hence my writing to you to have it done. I am sorry to hear of the course your daughter has taken is marrying an outsider, but for this you cannot be blamed; it is, however, none the less grievous to you. My health is good. With kind regards, Your Brother, W Woodruff
