Letter from George Teasdale, 6 November 1889
[sideways text] Nov 6 [18]89 Pres Geo. Teasdale Liverpool Rec Nov. 189 [18]89 Ansd Nov 25 [18]89 [end of sideways text] President Wilford Woodruff, Box B. Salt Lake City. U. T. Dear Brother: On Saturday last our Brother McAllister left Liverpool per. Guion S. S. Arizona. Such sudden changes are never very pleasant, especially with book keepers. When your telegram reached us we were in the midst of the business of shipping off a company of Saints. Bro. Mc Allister has worked assiduously to get his books posted up and in some shape to hand over to Brother L. R. Thomas so that he could hold them and carry on the business until Bro. McAllisters' successor should be sent. Bro Mc set up the whole of Friday night working to have the accounts in good condition. Bro. Thomas is doing very well for a young man as you will see from the Balance Sheets for October. As you will soon see Bro. Mac he will give you quite a history of our doings and hand you a very handsome- ly bound large sized Book of Mormon for the Tabernacle and a Psalmody. We furnish the unbound copies and Mr Fazackerly binds them free of charge. They are exceedingly handsome and will be a pleasant souvenire
