Letter from Ebenezer Beesley, 10 January 1889

Salt Lake City . President Woodruff, and Council of the Twelve, Dear Bretheren I wish to know whether the Tabernacle can be obtained for the purpose of giving a grand concert, as Madam Camilla Urso is coming here at the beginning of next month and Mr Kent is making the arrangments for her appearance and would like to have the use of the Tabernacle so that the masses of the people could have the oppertunity of hearing one of the greatest living lady violinists at popular prices. There are also five other musical artists with the lady and some of our home talent could also be used. I also wish to know if the Tabernacle Choir could have the use of the Tabernacle or the Assembly Hall in which to give a musical entertainment which would be of a nature suitable to the character of the building, and upon what terms we could have it. We find that the Theatre is not at all suitable for such purposes. With kind regards I am Your Brother in the Gospel E. Beesley.
