Dear Brother:
I find it has
cost me about one hundred and fifty dollars
perhaps a triffle more to live while I have been
waiting for possession of 42. Bro. Teasdale
proffered to vacate and let me in to which I
did not object, but he did not do it. I arrived
on the 3rd day of Sept. and Bro. T. moved out on
the 4th of Oct I was actually five weeks getting into
42. I cannot let this amount appear against me.
I have enumerated most of the expense of sleep-
ing and eating, but not all. Now if you choose to meet
this extra expense by approprating and sending a draft
all right; otherwise I will forward an order on Rossiter to
pay you there—which can be credited to this office—one
hundred and fifty dollars. The table expenses, generally,
would have meet this amount, during Bro. T's time, and I
really think he should have had the extra expense to meet
not I. But do what you think is right bethren and
shall be satisfied. I await your answer to all my
Communications. God bless you forever
Your Brother in Christ
Brigham Young.

Letter from Hyrum Franklin Thomas, 20 October 1890
Spanish Fork City, U. T.
Prest. Wilford Woodruff,
Salt Lake City;
Dear Brother,
Your Letter calling me on a
mission to Northern States some time
past and a subsequent one from the
missionary committee releasing me for
a short time during preparation were
duly received. At present I am preparing
my business and endeavoring to make
ready to fill that calling. I therefore
ask that you will please fix the
date at which you would wish me
to take my departure it from S. L. City.
In order that business may be completed.
Respectfully
Your brother,
Hyrum F. Thomas
When he gets ready let
him report, and we will set the time.
[ Joseph Fielding Smith ]
