Letter from George Teasdale, 19 August 1891

Mexico, President W. Woodruff and Council Salt Lake City, Utah Dear Brethren: I have just returned from another very interesting and satisfactory visit to all the settlements of the Mexican Mission. I last wrote you on July 29thfrom Colonia Juarez on the 30th ult, in company with Bro. W.R.R. Stowell & wife, Sister T and the children. We left Colonia Juarez and drove to the mouth of the Kanyon. We stayed here all night and had a very pleasant visit with Elder Helaman Pratt and his family. The next day we drove to Bro. Orvil M. Allens where we dined and held meeting It is quite a rough road through the Kanyon and part of the way from the summit to Bro. Allens. He has the charge of the companys stock and appears to be a capable man. He has made himself a very comfortable home and I think he will make a success. His trouble was to secure good help it being so lonely. It is only between six and seven miles from Carralis. We had some 20 souls at our meeting and should have had more had it been known. We drove that evening to Bro. Franklin Spencer's. He has built himself a comfortable home at Corralis and is doing now well in the stock and cheese industry. He makes a very good article of cheese which commands ready sale at Chihuahua. Bp. Jesse N. Smith owns half interest in the cheese industry. Sister T. was taken down with the colera morbus and was in a dangerous con- dition but was remarkably healed by the power of God. On Saturday Aug 1st we visited the Primary Association. It had been reorganized. Sister Laura A Mecham was president with Sarah A Lunt and Martha Porter as her counsellors Mary E. Porter Secretary. This association we found in an excellent condition. On Sunday we attended the Sabba[th]
