Salt Lake City, U. T. Presidents Woodruff, Cannon & Smith Dear Brethren: If the brethren mentioned to you could have been requested and would have accepted the invitation to take the position indicated, namely taking hold of the establishment of the sugar industry, so that their names might have appeared prominently before the people as actively interested in the movement, iendorsing their report previously made and manifesting their candor and integrity therein, the subscription list would have been speedily filled up by energetic canvassing, which I am ready to undertake myself provided no more interested or suitable person can be found.

Letter from William Spry, 1 May 1890

Chattanooga, Tenn., President Wilford Woodruff Salt Lake City Utah Dear Brother— I arrived here late in the night of 28th ult and upon investigaion I find the affairs of the Mission moving along fairly well. No cases of mobocracy has been reported for some little time. The last one being that affair in South Carolina. The main points of which I gave you before leaving Salt Lake. After the particulars were presented to the proper author- ities they positively refused to issue warrants for the arrest of the mobocrats or to have any thing to do in the matter. The lawyer also, who had been so positive of bringing the lawless element to justice, dropped out of the case entirely after receiving his fee, concluding I presume, there was not so much popularity attending the defense of Mormons as he had at first imagined. The brethren who are labor- ing there feel perfectly at ease however, a reaction of public opinion having set in and a more kindly feeling is extended toward them than has been of late.
