Now the inspiration of the Lord will reveal to any person which course wisdom would dictate us to persue And the Latter day Saints throughout Israel should understand that the first Presidency of the Church And the Twelve Apostles are ledof and guided by the inspiration of the Lord And the Lord will not permit me nor any other man to lead the People Asstray)

Letter from Thomas H. Hilton, 6 November 1891

Pres Wilford Woodruff Dear Brother: In reply to your notice of a call from almighty God for me to go to Samoa to proclaim the word of the Lord to the people, I say this; that, myself and all pertaining to me feel willing to devote our lives or even sacrifice them (if necessary) doeing the will of God. My circum- stances (financially) at the present time, are a little embarrass- ing. On account of the sickness of both Myself and Wife (some time ago) I was compelled to Mortgage my home for the sum of $400 00/100, (my home is worth $5000 00) If I can be able to make any arrangments to free my home in any possible way, I am willing and anxious to do my duty and will be on hand on December 10th 1891 to go. Hopeing the way will be opened up, and trusting in God, I am Your Brother Thomas H. Hilton George Romney Bp 20th Ward

Letter to stake presidents and bishops, 6 November 1891

To the Presidents of Stakes and Bishops of Wards, DEAR BRETHREN—It has been decided that it is no longer necessary for those going to the Temples to attend to ordinances therein to send their recommends to President Woodruff to be by him endorsed. The signatures of the Bishop and Stake President will be all that is required This decision applies to all ordinances attended to in the House of the Lord, except Second Anointings, which last named will still require the approval of the President of the Church before they can be administered. This being the decision, Bishops of Wards and Presidents of Stakes will see the increased necessity for care, so that no un- worthy person will be recommended for ordinances in the Temples. Your Brethren, Wilford Woodruff Geo. Q. Cannon Jos. F. Smith First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
