Journal Entry

April 16, 1889 ~ Tuesday

Tuesday April 16th 1889
We were joined this morning by Brother Cannon & Wife
Mr Badlam and Mr Trumbo and other members of our
party. Mr Badlam had provided Carriages, and we
drove through the 'Golden Gate Park,' this is a most
charming place. The drives are exceedingly fine. Mr
Badlam had arranged for us to breakfast in the park, at
Dickie's a vary noted house, after which we drove to the
Cliff House, from the balcony of which we sat and watched
the gamboling of the seals. Some of them would weigh from
1200 to 1500 lbs. We then returned through the park, visited
the conservatory, to the Hotel. In the evening myself
and party went to the Bijou Theatre. Col. Trumbo
furnished us a box. Musin, the great violinist,
gave a performance. After the Concert was finished
the Col. took us to a restaurant where we had an
Oyster Supper. Mr John White brother-in-law of the
Col's was with us. I wrote to Ashael Clara and
family.

Letter from William Budge, 16 April 1889
President W. Woodruff Dear Bro: In connection with the subject of my letter of yesterday's date I thought it might save trouble by enclosing a statement of the proportions of the different kinds of tithing that would make up the four thousand dollars. We can if necessary borrow the cash part here until it comes in on tithing. Respectfully Your Bro: Wm Budge
