Letter from Parley Parker Pratt Jr., 1 February 1889
Salt Lake City, . Pres. W. Woodruff, Trust Tee In Trust, Dear Bro, An event occurred to-day, which was quite vexatious and hard to bear. It is written that we are to take joyfully the spoiling of our goods I suppose that means when the "spoiling" comes from an enemy: but when our brethrem come upon us, by order of the Mayor of a great city, without just cause, armed with axes, and chop down ones garden fence, leaving a persons priva- te grounds & provender open for horses and cattle to prey upon him, it becomes, in my humble opinion, a matter of serious consideration. I protested at the time & pled with the officers to stay proceedings untill the matter could be properly adjudi- cated; but all to no purpos. The late Pres. Taylor, being prompted by a generous impulse, promised to deed to me for a small consideration a small piece of ground lying just north of Dr. Park. He steped off the land himself, promising at the time a clear title, at an early day. Under the above promise, I went to work fenced in the land build a small lumber room, into which we moved, I then spent several months in hard labor, wheeling-out cobble rock
