Letter from George Teasdale, 20 June 1890
President Wilford Woodruff, and Council. Beloved Brethren: Yesterday I had to cable you for ten hundred pounds in conse- quence of the heavy drafts made upon us and a mistake in not drawing sufficient upon you for the fourth Company. I was afraid we would not have sufficient to pay Guion & Co for the sea passage of the June 28th Company and drafts were continually being presented and the money wanted and our emigration being at a stand still until the 2nd of August I saw we were going to be bankrupt, and so cabled for ten hundred, owed us by the office, to save us.

Milner concerning this case, and we send them to you for your considera- tion. John B. Milner is a very peculiar man; he has oddities of manner and in his way of doing business that create unfavorable impressions con- cerning his soundness; but we believe that underlying thiese peculiarities he has a strong love for the Gospel and values his connection with the people very highly. We do not know why he should have been published as excommunicated as this is not the general custom, and there are many cases more flagrant than his that are not published. We might not however have noticed the publication particularly had it not been that at the time of the appearance of the notice in our papers we had advices from President
