Thus Ends the year 1889 And the word of the Prophet Joseph Smith is begining to be fulfilled that the whole Nation would turn against Zion & make war upon the Saints.

Letter from Francis Almon Brown, 28 December 1889
Amsterdam , Pres't W. Woodruff and Counselors: Dear Brethren: Your very encourgeing and welcome letter of the 11th Inst, con- taining a check for 1219 1/2 Gulden, came safely to hand this morning, and was an acceptable visitor I can assure you; and I hasten to acknowledge the receipt of the same. Mr J. Bremer the printer, has failed to come up to his contract with me, and the work will not be completed now till some time in Jan; so the assistance you have rendered, will enable me to meet my obligations with him in time.

Letter to the Presidency of the Salt Lake Stake, 28 December 1889
To the Presidency of the Salt Lake Stake: Dear Brethren: The case of Joseph Shaw, recently tried before the Bishop's Court in Sandy, has been brought to our atten- tion by a letter from Brother Jos. E. Taylor, in which he states to us the action of the High Council, to the effect that the High Council feel that they have no discretionary power in such cases as his, and that they could onely present the facts and leave the matter with the First Presidency to determine, although the spirit of humility and repentance which Brother Shaw manifested was so marked, that it made a deep impression upon the Council. Since receiving this communication we have taken the whole subject of such transgressions into consideration, and we wish now to say to you, and through you to the High Council, that cases of this character you are at liberty to de- cide upon according to the evidence that may be presented and ^as^ the Spirit of the Lord is manifested to you in the consideration of each case. We write this in order that you may feel free to exercise your functions as a tribunal appointed by the Lord in this Stake of Zion. With kind regards, Your Brethren, Wilford Woodruff Geo. Q. Cannon Jos. F. Smith
