Letter to William Atkin, 22 July 1890
Salt Lake City U. T. . Elder Wm. Atkin, Dear Brother: I have received your two letters, one of July 3rd and the other of the 15th. Of course, I am glad to hear from you. I have just returned from a journey of two weeks in the mountains. I came home almost a cripple, having broken a blood vessel in my right leg, which lames me for the time being. Now concerning our waterworks. It seems that there has been quite a mistake in the expectation of that piping. I have heard nothing at all from Brother McAllister on the subject. I do not know yet what will pbe done in the matter. My family are as well as usual. I had Emma, Blanche and Owen with me in the mountains. We spent our time in camp; did considerable fishing in the Weber river; caught some 200 trout. I did not catch a great many myself, because it was too hard work to follow the stream. Owen scared up a very large panther, and shot at and hit him with bird shot, But, of course, that is all the good it did, so far as stopping him was concerned. He represented him as a very large animal. We got a few chickens, which was all the game we secured, ecxcepting killing half a dozen porcupines. Brothers Wells and Farnsworhth were in this morning from Manti, but being busy with other parties I did not speak to them. I expect they will call again. Remember me kindly to Sister Atkin and all the family. As ever, Your Brother W. Woodruff
