Letter from George Teasdale, 5 February 1890

President Wilford Woodruff and Council, Beloved Brethren: I have the honor to submit to you the Statements of the business of this office for the year 1889, according to the auditors reports, Elders S. R. Thomas and Walter Hoge. By this report you will learn that the blessing of God has rested upon our feeble labors, and that notwithstanding our expenses necessarily increased, still we have come out favorably, far beyond anything I could have expected. I find upon scrutinizing the accounts I find bills paid in the month of January that strictly should have been paid in the last years business to the amount of about eighteen pounds, which would diminish our favorable showing. Leaving only £2628.0 1/2 in reserve, instead of £278.8.0 1/2. We added ^£^123.0.0 to the surplus stock a/c so we honestly cleared £383.8.0 1/2 after paying all expenses as you will see from the balance sheets. Everything is in a far better condition than when we started at the beginning of the year. The print- ing and house equipment are more valuable. The house has been cleaned and partly papered. We have had new type, and are doing most all of our own printing. The old stove was about worn out

Letter from William Budge, 5 February 1890

President W Woodruff Dear Bro We attended at the House committee rooms again to day, and were promised another hearing as soon as present engagements would permit. The decision of the Supreme Court has undoubtedly weakened the prestage we had, but will not necessarily ^prove^ fatal to our hopes of obstructing the Statehood movement. Judge Wilson is not discouraged, but is prepared to make an argument in the light of the "decision," which may show the committee the undesirability of the kind of legislation proposed in the State constitution. Bro John T. left for Salt Lake last night, and will no doubt have had an oppertunity of explaining fully before this reaches you The bretheren here are all well. I remain very respectfully your brother Wm Budge
