Lynne, Ogden City Jan'y 12th 1890. President W. Woodruff, and Counselors. Salt Lake City. Dear Brethren, Bro. W. W Cluff called upon me day before yesterday and stated that it was your wish that I write and forward to you a clear and correct statement of my financial circumstances, income size of family and feelings as to per- forming any labors or call that might be imposed upon me by the proper authority.

Circular to the Saints, 1 December 1890

SALT LAKE CITY, . TO ALL CONCERNED: With the growth of our Church school system, and of the Mutual Improve- ment Associations among our people, the need of text-books specially adapted for use under those organizations becomes very apparent. A short time ago Dr. J. E. Talmage was requested by us to prepare a work of medium size and scope on subjects of practical and scientific interest; and as a result he has written a small volume entitled "Domestic Science." A committee appointed to examine the book has heartily endorsed it as a worthy work representing an extended array of useful facts expressed in simple but forci- ble style, and imbued throughout with the spirit of our religion. We take pleasure in recommending the little work to our people as well adapted for use in our Church schools, also in the Mutual Improvement Associations, and for general reading. Your brethren in the gospel, WILFORD WOODRUFF, GEO. Q. CANNON, JOS. F. SMITH.

While in Boise I learned that legislation, verry adverse to the interests of the Latter day saints was contemplated, not only as to a permanent disfranchisement of our people, but ^looking^ to the loss of land and vexations water litigation. I was entrusted with an indirect message, to be delivered to what they term the "authorities" to the effect, that verry, verry careful "lobbying" mifght divide the more rabid ones oneson this point. I am satisfied that all the lands not legally appropriated, Bear Lake Co, will form part of the 3000000 acres donated by the general government, and that the "Mormons" will be made by legislation, "aliens to the common-

Letter from Andrew Kimball, 1 December 1890

Brigham City . President Wilford Woodruff Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Brother: Since my last report to you by letter I have made a verbal report to President Smith. I will say that the Elders have been greatly tried of late by sickness Elders (Haslam now home.) George Collett and H. D. Barber have been sick for some time and later Elder Keller had an old head complaint come on him in con- nection with a severe bilious attack The first two are now out in the field rapidly regaining their strength traveling short distances and visiting friends that they might get good and solid before venturing out on any hard trips. Elder Keeler is improving but will have to lay over for a short time to get solid. I am thankful to be able to report them all doing so well. I have been kept posted almost d[a]ily, and have watched their condition carefully.
