Letter from Lot Smith, 26 January 1891

President W. Woodruff, Dear Brother Three weeks since 3 officers came from Flagstaff and arested me they were very much afraid least I should get into the house I told them they need have no fear as I had all ready sent the Sheriff word that I would meet him at any place he should mention for if I had broken any Law I was ignorant of it. Well they compelled me to go with them a mile & I went 100 they treated me verry kindly and when we neared Flagstaff one of the horses came near giving out on account of the snow they thought some one would have to take the best horse & go for another I said if anyone went I Insisted on going they said they did not care a Dam if I did go for I would be turned loose in 5 minutes after we arrived, but we got through with the tired one we went to the hotell & got dinner & then to the court room & in less than 3 minutes Richard was himself againe a number of the Prominent men of Flag? came & offered any assistance they could give. I thanked them and told them it was the other fellows that needed the help not Me. I told the Judge I wanted him to put me back where he found me he said it was just outside of the door I told them that was best for them as that would make nothing out for me. It seemed to turn out as a Joke and I took the traine for Canon Diablo and found Bro. Foutz & came home with him. Now a hotter? ^better^ matter: I told the People of this little place they never would prosper untill they raised their own bread, they have made Quite a start towards dooing it & I have a notion to build a grist mill what do you think of the idea & what kind would you Recomend. There are some things hapening I have thought I would tell you but think it would doe not good and if it will not it should not be told. We are getting along as well as some would expect. We have healthy food & Clothing thank the Lord & a good School & if there is anything lacking it seems on our part. May the God of Israel bless you and all the faithful of his people. Your Brother, Lot Smith
