Letter from Joseph Henry Dean, 22 March 1890
Fagalü, Presidents Wilford Woodruff, George Q. Cannon and Joseph F. Smith Dear Brethren: Your kind favors of Jan. 8th, and Feb. 5th, have been duely received and read with deep interest. Thanks for your kind words of sympathy concerning the loss of my little son. Such blows are truly hard to bear.

I fancy the next few years will make our people wish

Salt Lake City March 22nd 1890 Prest Wilford Woodruf. Dear Brother, I feel it a duty to adress a few lines to you some may think, that we are under the feet of our Enemies I do not think so. To be sure our own Legista- tors have given more stringent measures to the People of God! then even the Congress of our own Nation What Busines I ask, has our People to Legislate against the Laws which our Blessed Redeemer! has given to us? If our Enemies had placed the chains upon us the Lord! Would be under obligations to burst the Bands! But as we (I was about to write)—As a People (have to some extent) wrapped the silken cords of Babylon around our own Necks—Does it not seem to deep
