Letter from Andrew Jenson, 20 February 1890
Salt Lake City, President Wilford Woodruff Dear Brother: Your kind favor of the 15th inst. reached me on the 17th, and I accept your ultimatum as regards my proposition of Sept. 23, 1889, although necessarily somewhat disappointed since the delay—awaiting your answer—will have considerable bearing upon my business operations in the future. As I am anxious to continue my historical labors and gather material together, which I at all times hold subject to the Church historians, if they desire copies, I would kindly ^ask^ if the $5000 allowance from the General Tithing ^Office^ toward the maintainance of my family (which I have been drawing during the last two years) will be continued? If so, I think, I shall be able to continue the "Record" until such times as you may wish to take the matter in hand. I have on hand already considerable matter which I have gathered concerning the various Stakes of Zion, but finding the undertaking a greater work, and coupled with many more difficulties, than I at first anticipated, it will take several years yet to complete it.
