Letter from Zechariah Ballantyne, 13 June 1891

Ogden, Utah, Prest Wilford Woodruff, Salt Lake City, Dear Bro: I have begun the preparation of a concordance to the Book of Mormon. It has occurred to me that it would be best before going too far to ask your recog- nition and whether you know of any one else who has such a work in hand.
