Letter to Lewis Warren Shurtliff, 1 April 1889
Salt Lake City, U. T. . President L. W. Shurtliff and Counselors and High Council of Weber Stake of Zion Brethren: The papers in the appeal case of Thomas D. Dee vs. Joseph Stanford, with two communications from Elder Alf. W. Millgate, Clerk of the High Council, have been received. This case, from the papers, has been fully considered, and it is de- cided by the Council of Apostles that the decision as rendered by the High Council be sustained. You are therefore thus notified of this decision, so that you can take such further action therein as may be necessary. With kind regards, Your Brother, W Woodruff
Letter to William Paxman, 1 April 1889
Salt Lake City, U. T. . President W. Paxman, New Zealand. Dear Brother: Your kind and very interesting communication of Feb. 23rd reached us on March 19th. We were pleased to learn of the continued growth of the Church, and of the progress you are making in the printing of the Book of Mormon. Your request for $500.00 to help you meet your engagements with the printers was duly considered by the Council of the Apostles, and in the present straitened condition of the finances of the Church, it was decided that the utmost we could do was to send you the amount you ask—$500.00—as a loan. We have accordingly arranged that the amount be forwarded as desired by you, through the Union Bank of Australia at Auckland. We have also sent to Brother Marriott the £10.0.0 due him. Among the Elders called for New Zealand was Elder Geo. T. Smith, of George- town. His health was, however, so poor that when he reached San Francisco with the other brethren it was considered advisable for him to return, which he did
