Letter from H R Caroll, 5 March 1890

Plainfield, N. J., . President Wilfred Woodruff, Salt Lake City, Utah- Dear Sir: As Special Agent of the Eleventh Census for the gathering of religious statistics, I desire to make a full and correct return of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Our method in other denominations is to gather the statistics by conferences or presbyteries or associations. I understand that the Church of which you are president is divided into stakes. I should be glad if you would indicate who is the proper person in each stake to gather information respecting Mormon organizations within the bounds of his district. I have prepared schedules for this purpose, a copy of which I enclose to you for your information, in order that you may see what is the scope of the inquiry. I may add that to the person who undertakes to gather the statistics of a stake I can furnish, inaddition to this schedule, all the necessa- ry materials for corresponding, if necessary, with congregations in his district. I can also furnish blanks containing the general directions which you will find on the second and third pages of
