Letter from Karl Gottfried Maeser, 16 October 1889

Provo City, President Wilford Woodruff. Dear Brother, In conformity with the resolutions of the General Board I made an appointment to meet with the Weber Stake Board, attend their Academy, and place myself at their disposal generally for the educational interest of Weber Stake during next Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, returning to Provo on Monday morning. I also have made appointments for the same purpose for Wasatch Stake Board and Academy, for Saturday, Sunday, & Monday, Oct. 26–29; for Summit Stake Board and Academy, Wednesday, Thurs- day, & Friday, Oct. 30–Nov. 1; and for Morgan Stake Board & Academy, Saturday, Sunday, & Monday, Nov. 2–4. From Morgan I should go to Randolph, via Evanston, from there to Paris, thence to Franklin, Logan, & Brigham City. There are also now Stake Academies in operation at Rexburg, Malad, & Albion, the journey around these places, however, would have to be done mostly by rail incurring considerable expense.
