Letter from Arthur Stayner, 10 December 1889
Salt Lake City, Utah, Presidents Woodruff, Cannon and Smith Dear Brethren: Will you please grant an interview to the Presidency of the Salt Lake Stake and to a Committee of the Sugar Compa- ny tomorrow (Wednesday) at such time during the day as may suit your convenience, and also at such place as you may designate, there being some matters pertaining to "location" we desire to have some counsel upon. Please give reply early as convenient per hand of Bro Sudbury. Very respectfully Arthur Stayner at 230 pm
Letter to Brigham Young Jr. from Wilford Woodruff, George Q. Cannon and Joseph F. Smith, 10 December 1889
Salt Lake City, U. T. . Elder Brigham Young, Dear Brother: There is some business in Arizona that we would like you to attend to while you are down there. Inclosed you will find correspondence from Bp. Brinkerhoof, in which there are charges made against a son of Brother Lot Smith. It will be well to have those charges carefully investigated and not be decided upon mere rumor. Whatever is proper under the circumstances should be done by the authorities there, under your counsel. There may be other things there which may require your attention. If so, we hope you will find it convenient to have them cleared up. We have received a letter from Bp. McNeil, of Ramah—a let- ter which you read. It contained a statement of the condition of their land and the offer that had been made to them for its sale to them. We understand that you wrote an answer, suggesting to them that they organize themselves into a company and endeavor to buy the land on the terms that were offered, and to give the land itself as security. This would be a very good plan, especially if they can get it at a moderate interest. Something should be done to secure this land to the saints, as Bp. McNeil represents it as a desirable place and one that others covet and would doubtless gladly purchase; but if it passes out of the hands of the people it will compel them to break up their homes and be a serious loss to them, which should be avoided if it possibly can be.
