Letter to Angus Munn Cannon, 24 September 1889
Salt Lake City, U. T. .
Pres. Angus M. Cannon,
Salt Lake Stake.
Dear Brother:
We see no objection to the ordination of the brethren whose
names you submit as High Priests
In future, we suggest that when Bishops in your Stake recommend
brethren to be ordained to the High Priesthood, their names be presented before
the High Council, with yourself and counselors presiding, and if approved by nyou,
then you present the names to the presidency of the High Priests Quorums, and after
a vote has been taken by that quorum accepting these brethren as members of the
body, the presidency of the High Priests ordain them High Priests.
With kind regards,
Your Brethren,
Wilford Woodruff
Geo. Q. Cannon
Jos. F. Smith
