President Wilford Woodruff.
Dear Brother,
In conformity with the program of travel submitted to
you in my letter of the 11th ult., I left Provo, Wednesday,
November 18 with the D. & RG. Ry, at 11:40 AM, Bro. Wm. C.
Spence having kindly provided me with halffare passes
as far as Holbrook, and with a letter from the Supt. of
the Southern Pacific to insure me halffare rates for my
return trip via California. I arrived at Holbrook, Saturday,
Nov. 21, at 1 P.M. and was received at the station by Pres.
Jesse N. Smith and some other bretheren. An appointment
had been made for me to address that evening the people
at Woodruff which I did on the leading subjects Churchschools,
Religion Classes, Sundayschools, and M. I. Associations, and
the much needed assistance and cooperation of the Fireside.
As these have been the mainsubjects ^of^ all my public
addresses during my four weeks labors in Arizona, I do
not need to refer to them here again when speaking
of the other places. I addressed during that period 13 public
meetings, visited 4 churchschools, 3 districtschools, 12 Sundayschools,
2 Primaries, in all of whom I had to give some remarks
to the children, held 3 meetings with educational boards,
