Letter to William Atkin, 2 April 1890
Salt Lake City, U. T. .
Elder William Adkin,
St. George
Dear Brother:
Your letter of March 24th is before me. I have not had time to an-
swer it before. In regard to the water question for the St. George Temple I wish
to say, we have again consulted Brother Ottinger and laid before him the views of
Brother Thompson and yourself: and he says that he will warrant that inch and a
half pipe to deliver 435 gallons of water per minute, and that ought to satisfy us
all. It is as much water as we will need, and I trust to his judgement, he being so
well aquainted with hydraulics. I have written to Brother McAllister and Brother
Thompson upon this subject. I am glad you and your family are getting better. I
had a very severe attack two days ago which lasted several hours, but through ad-
ministering, etc. I was delivered. I feel al^l^right to-day. My family are generally
well. We are preparing for Conference; we expect a large company of people. A
good share of the Quorum of the Twelve will be with us; and I hope we shall have a
profitable time.
Of course you know our city is in the hands of the Gentiles, and of
course they will take advantage of us in every respect they can; but we have to
trust in God. As I am very busy to-day I can only write a short letter. Remember
me kindly to your family and inquiring friends. God bless you all.
Your Brother in the Gospel,
W Woodruff
