Letter from Walter Hoge, 18 June 1890

Pres. Wilford Woodruff Dear Bro. I trust you will not consider it presumptous in me to address you on a subject which I believe to be necessary and a duty. During the time I have been laboring here in the Liverpool Office I have observed with anxiety the failing health of our much beloved President, George Teasdale, and have carefully and prayerfully arrived at the conclusion that to withhold the facts in the case longer from you would be dereliction of duty on my part as a servant of God. Pres. Teasdale had a very severe attack of sickness in February and I do not think that he has fully recovered from the effects of it, and with the care and responsibility incident to his position as President of the European Mission, his health seems to be gradually but surely getting worse. Of late his affairs at home seem to give him a good deal of anxiety. He feels the loss of Bro. Picton very much, and I understnad that since Bro. Picton's death, Pres. Teasdale's affairs at home are not in a satisfactory condition. The strain upon his mind, under his present bodily condition, seems to be too great and

Letter from William Budge, 18 June 1890

President W Woodruff Dear Bro I enclose a letter just received from Mr J. H. Hawley late U.S. Attorney for Idaho. He has been employed by our Bretheren who were tried at Blackfoot lately. Our local Lawyers belive with Mr Hawley that our bretheren have not been legaly convicted, and that the late judgements would be over ruled. The question is doubtless a very important one, as the ruling of Judge Berrey practically prohibits, in such cases the right of appeal altogether. The last paragraph of the letter is based upon the presumption that Judge Berreys ruling would not be sustained by our Territorial Supreme Court which sits in January. As to the cost, I am afread it would be difficult to raise the money among the people who have been through the severity of last winter considerably

Letter from George Teasdale, 18 June 1890

1890. President W. Woodruff, & Council. Beloved Brethren: Your ever welcome and esteemed favors of the 14th, 20th and 28th of May have come safe to hand and contents noted. Elder J. W. Clawson, his wife and chilren arrived here June 11th per Guion S. S. Alaska and left for London on Friday morning June 13th. Your suggestions about an organization, as the brethren had at Ann Arbor will be suggested to them and I hope be productive of much good. The action of the U. S. officials with regard to our emigration was brought to my notice in the press dispatches of the morning papers and I wrote to Mr Tenbroeck, a copy of which I enclose. I hope our emigration, under the blessing of God, will not be interfered with. We are striving to be in harmony with the laws but it seems as though the U. S. Government was determined to fill up their cup speedily. Our emigration is very nicely cared for everywhere. Mr Ramsden continues as energetic and care ful as ever to have our emigrants well treated. I do not know how such a rumour could have reached you that I had released Elder Frederick Stauffer from the Turkish Mission
