Letter from Thomas Woolsey, 20 June 1891

Manti City. . President Wilford Woodruff. Salt Lake City. Dear Brother: Some six or eight years ago, at Kanarrah, you kindly proffered me a home and support in Salt Lake City, I did not then accept, not desiring to be a burden to the Church or my friends, but I find my sight failing me and my children unable to render me needed assistance, I therefore feel under obligation to accept any kindness at your hands, that you will be pleased to give me. I am without a home and would like one near the Manti Temple so that I can do the work for my dead. Dear Brother I have wrote this to you that you may assist me to a home at Manti, if it meets with your wishes, please write to me and let me know. With very kind regards Your Brother Thomas Woolsey
