Letter from George Teasdale, 11 July 1890
President W. Woodruff and Council. Beloved Brethren: As I was pre- paring to leave for Cheltenham to attend the Bristol Conference, your esteemed favor of the 27th came to hand. I must say it was a surprise to me as I was not look- ing for it until the fall at the end of the Emigration season. But I am a minute man and go and come at the call of my file leaders, for I have but one desire in life and that is to be where my heavenly Father wishes me to be. This mission has been a blessing to me and I am thankful to Him for the experience. Last Sunday I attended a very good Conference and Priesthood meet- ings at Birmingham, and on Sunday week we have a Conference of the Welsh Mission. I have received a letter from Bro. J. Jack about an extra charge being made in the fare from Copenhagen. I have sent the letter to Prest Fjeldsted for explanations. There are always two sides, and frequently much mis- representations, that it is always better to hear both sides before judging. I am thankful
Letter from Edward William Tullidge, 11 July 1890
To President Woodruff and the Twelve Dear Brethren, I appeal to you relative to my history of Northern Utah and Southern Idaho dedicated to Apostle Lorenzo Snow. To come quickly to the point my history in its circulation, up to the present time, is an utter failure; and it is not in my power to put it upon the market and force its circulation I have been absolutely alone and unaided, with not a single assistant to help me in a canvas of the counties whose history this is, while all the available agencies have been engaged on other books which were issued about simultaneously with mine. Reporting my efforts on this book I may state that, having obtained the names to head my list of subscribers—Of Presidents Woodruff, Cannon, F. D. Richards, Moses Thatcher, John Henry Smith, John W. Young, Francis M. Lyman and Thos. G. Webber, I first went to Ogden where I sold about thirty or forty volumes, half of these to Gentiles, the others to business brethren who were biographically associated with the book. Weber County alone ought to have taken 500 vols.; for to Ogden and its representative men, also to other settlements of the county, there were devoted between 300-400 pages.
