Woodruff S. L. C. Utah Dear Brother: Bro J. L. Jenkins released missionary desires to become acquainted with you hence I give him this letter.

Letter to Milton Henry Hardy, 14 November 1890

Elder Milton H. Hardy, Provo, Utah: DEAR BROTHER: We are advised that the condition of the Young Men's Mutual Improvement Associations, throughout the Church, is such as to require careful consideration and attention from its general officers; and in our capacity, as the General Superintendency of the organization, we feel it our duty to extend to the Associations such encouragement and counsel, as may be necessary to pro- mote their welfare, and put them in the way of securing, to the young men of Israel, the blessings that are in store for them; and that can be secured unto them through the medium of these Associations, which have been organized by the coun- sel of the Priesthood, under the inspira- tion of the Holy Spirit, for their especial benefit. The organization, as originally given and generally maintained, is one capable of securing to all its members (and its membership should include all the young men of Zion) a taste for theological, historical, scientific, and literary studies; such as should characterize the intelligent youth of a community of Latter-day Saints. It is the mission of these Associations to take the lead in this direction, and their officers should seek for that knowl- edge and spirit, which will qualify them as leaders, in directing the work of their respective Associations. From your long connection with Mutual Improvement Associations, and the deep interest you have always taken in them, we feel that you are qualified to represent us, in the detail labor, which we deem at

Circular to the Presidency of the Several Stakes and the Bishops and Counselors of the Different Wards, 14 November 1890

To the Presidency of the several Stakes and the Bishops and Counselors of the dif- ferent Wards: DEAR BRETHREN: A Company for the manufacture of sugar has been organized and steps have been taken for the erection of a factory with a sufficient plant to convert into sugar three hundred tons of beets per day of twenty-four hours. That this business can be successfully carried on in this Territory and meet all reasonable expectations has been made as clear as it is possible under the circumstances, by actual investigation of prudent and judicious men—brethren of ours. There is no room for any reason- able doubt as to the success of this enterprise, if it be entered into and carried on properly. The determination of those interested is to have the management of this manufacture in the most reliable hands—the hands of men of established reputa- tion among us, and who have proved their ability by the success that has attended their labors generally. One-half of the stock has already been subscribed for by a comparatively few of the brethren; but it is desirable in a factory of this kind the stock should be widely distributed among the people, and we wish you to bring this to the attention of the Latter-day Saints in your Ward. If there be any who cannot subscribe a large amount, let them take some stock and have some interest in the enterprise. We be- lieve it will be a great benefit to our Territory; and as it is the largest industry of the kind that has been attempted among us, and one requiring the greatest amount of capital, we trust that this appeal will be met by a general response from all parts of the Territory. We suggest that you appoint a committee of responsible men for your Stake who will take interest in this matter, and under their direction there may be a sub- committee appointed for each Ward, if necessary, to whom subscriptions can be paid. Of course, stock will be issued by the Company on the receipt of the amount sub- scribed. The circular of the Company will explain also that it is not necessary for the whole amount to be paid at once; but it can be paid in installments. In closing, we may say that we are very desirous to have this enterprise meet with the success which it deserves. We have no doubt that it will, and trust this appeal will be met by a cordial response from yourselves and the people. We are, your Brethren, Wilford Woodruff Geo. Q. Cannon Jos. F. Smith
