Dear President Woodruff,
Your telegram, or rather cable
gram, of the 5th inst, was received early in the morning of Thurs
day; before any one was up the boy from the Telegraph Office,
was vigorously knocking at the door. We telegraphed early
morning to Bro R.d Johnson and on Friday evening he was
here; went on board ship and left Liverpool, pr Guion S. S.
Arizona, on Saturday morning about 10 o'clock.
I have written to Bro. J. M. Sjodhal to stay until the
spring, and have released Prest. F. F. Hintze to re-
turn home on account of his being unwell, and
having been so long away from home. He will ar-
rive in Utah about the last of this month, or the early
part of next year. Bros. Stauffer and Simmons seem
settling down to work. Bro. Locander writes me he
has received blessings, enjoyments and satisfaction during
the past year far above anything he anticipated and
that he was content.
As this will reach you about Christmas, I shall
do myself the pleasure, of wishing you, your
counsellors, and the Twelve, a happy peaceful
Christmas, with your family and friends. May
the blessings of the God of Israel attend you
in all your administrations. Although I
am absent in body, I am with you in
spirit and in love, you all have my warm
