Letter from George Teasdale, 8 February 1890

President W. Woodruff & Council. Salt Lake City. Beloved Brethren: Today Elders T. W. Brookbank and Jas L. Patterson left Liverpool per Guion Steamship Wyoming, and I have increas- ed labor on the "Star." Please send me some good help. I regret exceedingly to have to part with Bro. Brookbank. My responsibilities increased when Bro. McAllister left because he had got the run of the business and was very efficient help. Now I have all new hands and have to watch everything and I have all I can do. I hope you have received my letters of Jany 15 & 18th with copies of letters from Prest Stucki and Fjeldsted of the Swiss & German & Scandinavian Missions. In No 2 of this years "Millennial Star" is a letter from Prest F. A. Brown of the Holland Mission, and in No 4 "Star" is a letter from Prest Joseph Leaing. These letters together with reports financial and Statistical will give you just as good an idea of the condition of the European Mission and the spirit of the people as can be given on paper. I intend just as soon as I can to send you a correct statement of the condition of the Saints or people who have their names enrolled

Letter from William Budge, 8 February 1890

President W Woodruff Dear Brother We had another hearing before the house committee to day commencing at 1030 A M, and lasting untill 3 P M, which finishes our comm- ittee work. Judge Carlton spoke first with good effect, then followed Judges Wilson, Dubois and myself. Dubois repeated as near as may be what he stated to the senate committee, and Judge Wilson made a per- fect statement of our objections with great power. We think of having Judge Wilsons argument printed by its self, and sent to the members of both houses. What the result of our labors will be we cannot tell, there is some hope for us, and many indications against us. I belive we have done the best we could in our defence, according to our abilety, and understanding with Gods help. With very kind regards to yourself, and the bretheren with you I remain your Brother in the truth Wm Budge P. S. all well here W. B

Letter to Henry Evans Giles, 8 February 1890

Elder Henry E. Giles, Provo. Dear Brother: The increase in the number and importance of our church schools and academies admonishes us that we should make every reasonable effort to bring to the highest state of perfection the educational work done within their walls. While we are highly gratified with the advancement already made, we believe that in certain branches higher efficiency can be reached and greater progress made by the adoption of more systematic and uniform methods. Amongst these is the study and practice of music, which has not yet received that attention in some of our church institutions which its importance demands. With a view to develop a love for "the divine art" and a proficiency therein, the General Board of Education solicit you to act as one of a committee, with Elders Evan Stephens, and Albert Tolestrop of Morgan City, to suggest such a course of musical training as will be most suitable for our schools. If you accept, as we believe you will, please put yourself in communi- cation with your fellow-committeemen, so that the duty entrusted to your mutual efforts may receive early attention. Yours respectfully in the cause of true education, Wilford Woodruff Prest. General Church Board of Education Geo. Reynolds, Sec.
