Salt Lake City . President Wilford Woodruff, and Counselors. Dear Brethern; We respectlly solicit your counsel and instructions regarding the meetings of our Prayer Circle. Which were formerly held in the Endoment House, Sundays at 11 A M. Since that structure has been removed, the Circle has not met at all, and the members, are all eager that the sessions shall be resumed as soon as practiable and proper. We have had the offer of an upper room at the residence of our late President, Elias Smith, situated in the 17th Ward, and most of the members of this Circle reside in that neihborhood. If this meets with your approval ^we^ shall be happy to prepare for dedication as soon as possible after receiveing word of your mind on the matter. We earnestly request also that you make proper appointments for the dedicatory services. Hoping to receive an early reply. We are your Brethern in the Gospel. Edward Snelgrove. President. J. W.
