Letter from John Christopher Cutler, George Reynolds, and Levi W. Richards, 20 June 1889
To the First Presidency of the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Dear Brethren:
The General Board of the
Deseret Sunday School Union respectfully repre-
sent: That they have heard that the Church
has generously contributed $5,00000, besides other
material aid, to the Young Men's Mutual Im-
provement Associations to enable the general
authorities of those organizations to publish
certain works etc. for the benefit of the youth
of Zion.
That the Sunday School Union has
been in existence now about 20 years, has never
yet asked any assistance from the Church, and
that it numbers five times as many souls as the
Improvement Association, (or about 60,000 officers
and scholars.)
