Letter from George Teasdale, 30 July 1890
Prest Wilford Woodruff
and Council.
Beloved Brethren:
Since last writing
to you I have attended Conferences of the Welsh
and Scottish Missions. We had excellent meet-
ings which were well attended, but the reports
were not very encouraging with regard to bap-
tisms. In the Welsh Mission they had not baptized
one in six months, but in Scotland two baptisms
were reported, for the six months, and six baptisms
in July, since the 30th of June. In the six months 15,531
tracts had been distributed, 26 of the cheap edition of
the Book of Mormon had been sold, and 189 cheap Voice
of Warning. In the Scottish Mission 13,265 tracts had been
distributed by the Glasgow Tract Society, in six months,
and 14,619 by the Elders &c in their districts for three months
report, making a total of 27,884 tracts distributed, 11 Books
of Mormon sold, 5 loaned, 13 Voice of Warning sold, 8 loaned, 5 given
away by the Elders, to friends or acquaintance. There is a seem
ing indifference amongst the people generally, or if
convinced lack the moral courage to obey; Yet
the Elders are in no wise discouraged, they feel
well, and we hade most excellent meetings. The
and ^elders^ are filled with praise and thanksgiving.
There seems to be a deep rooted prejudice against
