Letter from M. Deufild, 29 November 1891
To the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints: Gentlemen: Does your Church or priesthood intend to continue the percecution against me by [mag veteran]? or does your body deny that they are responsible or instrumental in the matter?

Merreott, Weber Co Utah President W. Woodruff, Dear brother!
