Letter from R. S. King Publishing House, 2 December 1889
San Francisco, 188
Pres. Wilford Woodruff,
Salt Lake City, Utah.
Dear Sir;
We have heard nothing from Mr. Nelson or from you with
reference to his account and feel that we have now waited long enough
hence shall place this matter in the hands of the people who attend
to the collecting of old bills. We are sorry to be compelled to
take this course, but feel compelled to do so in justice to ourselves,
for this account is certainly standing out a long time and should
have been paid before Mr. Nelson went away. Unless we have something
definite one week from date, we shall take active steps. We
thought it at least courtesy to notify you, as you have expressed an
interest in the matter.
Yours very truly,
R. S. KING PUB. HOUSE.

Circular to stake presidents and counselors, 2 December 1889
Salt Lake City, Utah, .
To the Presidents of Stakes and their Counselors.
Dear Brethren:
There never was a time probably in our history, when the Latter-
day Saints needed more than they do at present the assistance which God
has promised to render to us. He has made precious promises to His
Church; among them He has said that no weapon that is formed
against Zion shall prosper. This will be fulfilled to the very letter. The
Lord's word cannot fail. But it is for us, as a people, to place ourselves
in such a condition that we can ask the Lord in faith for these bless-
ings, and receive them at His hand. We should so live that He will
feel bound by His promises to come to our aid and to fulfil His
words to us. We have never appealed to Him in vain. He has always
listened to our supplications when we have approached Him aright.
The knowledge of this encourages us to cry unto Him as an entire
people, with united voice. And that we may do this in a proper
manner we have felt led to set apart the next anniversary of the
Letter from R. R. Farnsworth, 2 December 1889
Richfield, Utah,
Presdt Woodruff,
Dear Bro:
In reflecting on the situation
of the children of the Latter Day Saints, my mind was led out
in a train of thought, which I concluded in part to
place on paper and submit for your consideration.
You being the chief Officer in the Cause of Improvement.
I think sometimes boys receive the priesthood, and are
promoted in it, who are not sufficienlty instructed in
the priniciples of the Gospel, to have an intelligent concep
tion of the responsibilty assumed.
Would it not be well to make ^some of^ the Institutions known
as "helps in the government" in the church such as Sabbath
Schools, Primary and Young Men's Mutual Improvement
Associations the educators of and stepping stones
to receiving and promotion in the priesthood
Of course I do not wish to be understood that this
matter is altogether recklessly treated by our Bishops
but from personal experience and observation
