Pres. Wilford Woodruff, Salt Lake City. Dear Brother: I received your letter of the 19th, yesterday and was very much pleased with its contents.

Letter from Karl Gottfried Maeser, 22 February 1890

Provo city, President Wilford Woodruff. Dear Brother, The copy of the letter of Bro. Attewall Wootton, Pres. of the Wasatch Stake Board of Education, to President A. Hatch, is before me and has been purused with great care. As I cannot speak by personal knowledge of the case, but have before me only Principal Enoch Jorgensen's letter and two printed extracts from the "Wasatch Wave," which do not coincide entirely with Bro. Wootton's report to Pres. Hatch, it reduces itself in my mind to a question of veracity between the statements in my possesion and the proceedings of investigation before the Wasatch S.B.E.

Jorgensen's action in reporting ^to me^ the disgraceful conduct of a member of the Stake Board, by which the efforts of the Stake Academy in reforming the general spirit of the youth in that neighborhood— were paralyzed to some extent Bro.

Letter from DeLos Franklin Tanner, 22 February 1890

Payson President Woodruff S. L. City Dear Bro. I received your letter calling me as a missionary to the Southern States, although I realize it as a laborious task for one as young and inexperienced as I am, I feel like responding and doing the best I can & will try and be in S. L. C. on the appointed time. Your Bro. in Gospel Delos. F. Tanner Joseph S Tanner O. K.

Letter from Joseph Smith Douglass, 22 February 1890

Payson City President. Wilford Woodruff Salt Lake City Dear Brother I received yours of the 19th last night, notifieing me to be ready to start from Salt Lake City on the 9th of Apr 1890 as a missionery to LGreat Britton, if there was no reasonable obstacles to hinder me from going. I will say that the only obstacle there is at present is that I am serving as a Pettit Juror in the First Judicial District, but if I can possibly be released by that time I will be ready. You also asked my feelings in regard to this call I would say in reply that if it is the will of the Lord that I should go I am willing and at His service. Your Brother in the Gospel. Joseph Smith Douglass Joseph S. Tanner
