Letter from Lot Smith, 11 March 1890
Pres. W. Woodruff
Dear Brother:
I have thought for quite a little while time I would ask you
what to do with the papers of the transfer of Lees Ferry. I have
them left with me by Bro. Snow I think and I have met another matter
I thought I must mention to you as I am getting old, or my health is
not good. Bro. B. Young sent me word to meet him at Snowflake as there
were some unsettled Sunset Matters.
Now what on earth I have to do with them if there things unsettled
connected with that company I could not tell for the life of me, as years
since I, as perhaps you will recollect, I turned over to receivers every
dollar I had belonging to that Co. and positively declaired having
anything to do in the settlement of the business of the Company.
But Bro. Snow instisted that I shold meet with the committee.
I did so and they almost entirely ignored me in the business which was
more pleasant to me than to have been a connected with it.
I did know more about the business of the company than any person
living but NOW I positively know nothing and what I am trying to get
at I want you to protect me so that I am moyed & perplexed tith that
disagreeable matter, disagreeable to me because I am sure I was most
shamfully cheated in connection with it.
Is this asking something something unjust or unfair? If so never take
any notice of tithis letter. I have had so much to annoy & Know no more than
I do. I am tired.
There is another matter I want to speak to you about but will not
now. O how keea ^Queer^ I have felt about the situation you folks are in up there
now. dGod help you is the only thing I can think of. All are pretty well.
The Lord bless you for ever. Lot Smith
