Letter from George Chandler Parkinson, 6 July 1889
Franklin Idaho. Prest. W. Woodruff Salt Lake City. Dear Brother: The enclosed letter will explain itself. Bp. Jos E. Capell is a very good man and well able to fill a good mission, but since his name was given to you to fill a mission, it appears that the Fort Hall Indian Seservation has been reduced, throwing open for settlers, all that part known as Marsh Valley, in which we have two wards Bro. Capell being the bishop of one of them —Garden Creek—and to fill the mission at present may deprive him of the privilage of securing his home. Still he feels willing to go and risk holding his land until his return, which I think would be all right as the settlers in the little town where he lives are all good people and I do not think would take any advantage of the circumstances. Will you kindly advise Bro. Capell as to your feelings in the matter Your Bro. Geo. C. Parkinson
Letter from Angus Munn Cannon, 6 July 1889
Salt Lake City, President Wilford Woodruff and Counselors, Dear Brethern: We have received a letter from the Presiding Bishop, W. B. Preston, and his Counselors in which they quote the following excerpts, which they say they have received from you: "Your statement of Fast offerings and the amount required to sustain the worthy poor in the various Stakes, has been examined and returned to you. In relation to it we feel to say that the authorities of Box Elder, Juab, Sanpete, Morgan Parowan and Salt Lake Stakes may well be enquired of to know the reason why such small amounts have been collected from the Fast Offerings Re lief Societies and other sources." "We find that the amount per capita for these Stakes is also quite large in proportion to the other Stakes. The attention of the authorities of these Stakes should be called to this that they may understand that they are asking a much larger amount in proportion, per head, than other Stakes are. There may be, and doubtless are, good reasons in some of the Stakes why this should be so."
