Letter from Charles William Stayner, 13 May 1890

Washn D.C. Prest Woodruff Dr Sir & Brother, Respecting the 9 Elders who are to leave home on 20th^ inst.^ I would say that four are for the Iowa Conference, and can go to St. John, Kansas, for assign- ment. Prest. Pond will see that they are met and properly conducted to their fields of labor. They can go there via Santa Fe line from Denver Col, connecting with either U.P. or D&R.G. roads, whichever they prefer to Denver from Salt Lake. Cut rates from Denver are quite low now. The other five had better be divided be- tween the Pennsylvania & Indiana Con- ferences. Three can go to Metz, Marion Co W. Virginia—the headquarters of the Penn. Confce—and either hasten there in time for Conference on 24 & 25 May, or if they cant do that, then they had better find

Letter to Angus Munn Cannon, 13 May 1890

Salt Lake City, Utah, . President A. M. Cannon Dear Brother: It has been thought wise to prepare another Reconstrance against the passage of the Disfranchisement bills now before Congress, which can be signed by persons—both men and women—of all parties, creeds and professions. Please give this matter that same prompt attention that you gave the former one, and like it, this should be signed in duplicate, one list being for the Senate, the other for the House of Representatives. It is highly desirable that no time should be lost in the circulation and return to Salt Lake City of this document, or it may possibly be too late to effect the good purpose for which it is intended. Your Brethren, Wilford Woodruff Jos. F. Smith

Letter from Thomas Edwin Ricks, 13 May 1890

Rexburg, Bingham Co, Idaho, President W. Woodruff Salt Lake City Dear Brother, Your favor of 6th inst. regarding Bishop Donaldson, Since I wrote you concerning the matter Bro. Donaldson has sold out here and gone back home. He now wishes to retain his position if this meets with your approval. Our anti-mormon friends are very busy here just now, two of our Brethren have been arrested lately, also they are engaged in land jumping wherever the law has not been fully complyied with and in some instances where it has. Sunday and Monday ^18 & 19th^ our conference at Louisville takes place. We hope to have some of the Brethren meet with us. I am your Brother in the Gospel T. E. Ricks
