Letter from Thomas Edwin Ricks, William Frederick Rigby, and James Ephraim Steele, 19 August 1890
Rexburg, Bingham Co, Idaho. President W. Woodruff Salt Lake City Dear Brother, Our Conference was held Sunday and Monday when we had present with us Apostle A. H. Cannon and Prest. S. B. Young. All the Bishops excepting the two furthest off were present and a good attendance of the saints. The weather being fine our meetings were held in the Bowery. We have enjoyed a rich spiritual blessing and the good instructions given by the Brethren have been generally felt which we hope to remember and profit therefrom. From all our settlements come encouraging reports of fine crops, the health of the people is good and has been since our last Conference with the exception of Iona Ward which has been visited with a good deal of sickness among the children.
