Letter from George Orrin Pitkin, 25 July 1889
Logan City, Utah, President Wilford Woodruff Salt Lake City. Dear Brother: It would please us very much to have the presence of yourself, and as many others as you choose to bring with you, at our Quarterly Conference to be held on Saturday and Sunday, August 3rd & 4th 1889. I would be able to make better preparations if I could know in advance about how many you will bring. Hoping you are well with kindest regards, Your Brother in the Gospel Geo. O. Pitkin pr LRm.

Letter from John Ray Young, 25 July 1889
Red. President Wilford Woodruff, Dear Brother. Your letter of June 24 just received. I regret that Sister Lydias love and confidence in me is gone. As for her living alone for the past seven and a half years, I am not to blame. I have done all that I could do to get her to come and share our humble fortunes and for the past four years have had a separate Home ready for her. This spring I visited Huntington, Castle Valley where her daughter & son-in-law live and arranged to buy her a Home adjoning their. She has declined all of my offers. If it will add to her Happiness I am willing to grant her request with the understanding that I have the care of two of the children. She has four children at home. I will furnish her with a pair of ponies, Harness and Wagon and 2 cows, and if she will come and live on it, I will deed her 20 acres of land, at Loa, Rabbit Valley. She is a good Industrious Woman but for many years has rejected my Counsels, seeking direction from Higher Authority. If she persiste in wanting a Bill I will pay for it on Condition that two of the Children be entrusted to my care. I am humbly, Your Brother John R. Young
