Salt Lake City, Dec 23rd, 1888.
To President Wilford Woodruff and Quorum and the Presiding
Bishops
Dear Brethren, I address you relative to the second volume
of Tullidge's Histories of Utah, which is a companion volume of the
History of Salt Lake City. The book will contain the history of all
the Northern Counties of Utah and also of Southern Idaho, as well as
of Western and Eastern Utah— Weber County, Davis, Tooele, Box Elder,
Cache, Morgan, ^Summit,^Wasatch, Rich and Southern Idaho.
Nearly all these counties with their cities are written up, and
two thirds of the book in print, and three thousand dollars worth of
steel plates have been engraved for this vol. and are waiting the issue.
There are Lorenzo Snow (the frontispiece) Lorin Farr, Father Thatcher,
Moses Thatcher, Wm B. Preston, Chauncey W. West, Peter Maughan,
Judge Wm Hyde, Bishop S. Mollen, F. D. Richards, ^Anson Call^ Jonathan
Browning, Abraham Hatch, John Sharp, the Banker Guthrie,
the miners of the Park, R. C. Chambers & John Daily, and others,
merchants and capitalists of Ogden, besides Wm Budge and James
H. Hart who designs to send their portraits immediately to my
engravers, probably brother Nibbly; also I think others of the
railroad chiefs besides John Sharp.
The second volume is divided into two parts—namely
the general history of the Counties, occupying 600 pages, and suplement
mental part (or vol) 400 or 5400 pages say, most of the latter being
in print. The biographical sup. vol. opens with the Life and
Missions of Lorenzo Snow (25 pages) Father Thatcher, Founder of
the commerce of Cache Valley, Wm B. Preston first Bishop of
Logan, the Pioneer of Cache County, Peter Maughan, Captain
James Brown, Lorin Farr, Chauncy W. West, Anson Call, Wm R. Smith
