Letter to David King Udall, 19 April 1890

Salt Lake City, U. T. . President David K. Udall and Counselors. St. Johns Stake of Zion. Dear Brethren: Brother John B. Milner has been to see us, in company with Brother Joseph Crosby and Brother Elijah N. Freeman, in relation to his case that was tried before the High Council of your Stake. The object in bringing Brothers Crosby and Freeman was to give us an opportunity to learn from them concerning the trial before the Bishop's Court and before the High Council. After hearing all that was said upon the subject, and espe- cially from Brother Milner concerning his not having been properly notified, and his willingness to agree to that which was reasonable to make satisfac- tion, we promised him to write to you. The assurance that Brother Freeman gave concerning the willingness of the brethren to pay it themselves rather than have any trouble, prompted us to exhort Brother Milner to seek an early settlement, as we believed from the spirit that Brother Freeman described as existing among the Saints who are interested in this case, that it would not be a difficult matter for Brother Milner to make affairs right if he had the disposition he should have, as a Latter-day Saint. Brother Milner is a man of peculiar temperament, and cannot very well be judged by the standard which we expect other men to be measured

Letter from George Teasdale, 19 April 1890

Worthington, with Edward A. Cottrell and Daniel H. Snarr as his counsellors, and Thos. E. Bassett clerk and recorder. The following named brethren returning missionaries, Timothy B. Davis, Jenkyn Thomas, T. E. Ricks Jr, Joseph H. Ward and E. L. Burgoyne. The company consisted of 43 souls without counting the missionaries. 32 full fares 4 halves 6 between 1 & 5 years and 1 infant = 43 souls 9 missionaries = 52. 19 were for Salt Lake City, 7 for Ogden, 2 for Nephi 7 for Provo, 1 for Evanston, 11 for Market Lake Idaho, 3 for Farmington, 1 for Logan, and 1 for Montpellier = 52. As we have received no advices concerning the fares north of Ogden and South of Spanish Fork, we have been obliged to guess at it, and have ad- ded the difference we paid last year to the places north of Ogden and South of Spanish Fork not knowing what better to do. According to your instructions we have made out the lists at $45.25/100 fortyfive dollars and twentyfive cents and opened an account with
