Letter from Daniel Webster Jones, 10 December 1888
Salt Lake City, Utah, Prest Woodruff A few weeks since I origionated a Cartoon know as Danls Dream No 1 and published the same without consulting any one, I had no definite object at the time more than to shew in a rediculous light the injustice of taking the Church property in answer to the boasting manner that many of our enemies speek ofabout their doings. The Cartoon seemed to please a great many. Many strangers on looking at it agreed in words with the Idae represented. Getting somewhat interested, I have gotten up quite a number not yet published or shown to the public. I have been advised to send No 2 for your inspection and Opinion before publishing. I will be governed by your Advice, if you consider it worth your notice please anser yours & D W Jones

The blanks furnished you are as follows: Blank No. 1, Ward Tithing Record; [Blank] No. 2, Ward Account Current; [Blank] No. 3, Ward Balance Sheet; [Blank] No. 4, Ward Inventory; [Blank] No. 5, Stake Account Current; [Blank] No. 6, Stake Balance Sheet; [Blank] No. 7, Stake Inventory. If enough Blanks have not been furnished you, make requisi- tion on this office for quantity required, at once; ordering by number as above. BLANK NO. 1, WARD "TITHING RECORD." This should contain the names of all the Tithe Payers and the kinds and amounts each pay. The names should be arranged in alphabetical order, exercising care in getting the proper and full name of each tithe payer; group similar names together, particu- larly in the instance of families, entering seniors or heads of families first. This record, when filled and returned to us, is carefully bound
