Letter from John A. Maynes, 16 July 1889
President Wilford Woodruff
and Counsellors.
Dear Brethren:
I take the liberty of
addressing you on the subject of
the Church Emigration. Having
read of late in the Deseret News,
of the inconvenience and
unpleasantness attending the journey
of our people from New York to Salt
Lake City, and having had a number
of years experience in managing and
conducting excursion parties, also
being well acquainted with Railroad
matters in general, I felt that I
could offer a few suggestions that
would remedy the difficulties complained
of by our people, and would also be the
means of saving them considerable expense.
