Letter from George Teasdale, 11 December 1890
Prest W. Woodruff Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Brother: Will you kindly inform me if you have received Bro Geo M. Browns recommend and what has become of it. Bp. Johnson informs me he forwarded it to you before I came here. Bro Brown thinks it may have been delayed or lost on the road as sometimes such things occur. I promised Br Bown I would inquire of you to satisfy his mind. I leave tomorrow for a visit to Juarez. I have been expecting from what I have heard, to have had the pleasure of meeting you and consequently have not gone away wishing if you were coming to spend all the time with you I could. However as I hear you are not likely to arrive here until after the [w]hole days I have concluded {God willing} to take a trip to Juarez and return in time to spend the [w]hole day here with my folks. Wishing you the compliment of the season and the ever power and spirit of your calling. I remain as ever Your affectionate brother George Teasdale
