Letter from Alexander Findlay Macdonald, 27 February 1891
Colonia Juarez, Chihuahua, Mex. Pres. Wilford Woodruff and Councillors—S. L. City, Utah, Dear Brethern—I wrote you under date of Jany 6th before leaving for the city of Mexico, honping that I might here from you while at the capital. As in answer to your previous letter I had written fully on our efforts and views of matters here; also on my return to the coloney, hoped to have met you in this land, failing in all this, as no doubt it was unavoidable—I have now to report that I reached this place on the 20th inst. having ccomplished all we went for so far as possible. I regard Consul Maillefert, whose services we secured as the right man, and who has been very diligent and active in fact our task was of a very trying nature, having to follow it up day by day, being held in waiting many hours from time to time, to have a hearing in the continued press of business. Herewith find enclosed an abstract of contract made out by consul Maillefert as I left the city on the 12th inst. We are to colonise 300 families in 5 years, with the option of bringing 300 more on the same terms. And obtain lands for which the bonus allowed will apply in payment
