Letter from John Moss Lewis, 18 May 1892
President Wilford Woodruff, Salt Lake City. Utah. Dear Bro: I contemplate making a visit to the eastern & perhaps southern states visiting relatives and hunting up genealogies. As I hope to be able to do some proselyting I would aksk the privelige of being set apart and the benefit of any reduced rate of fare on the R R that may be allowed our missionaries. I wish to start from here. Any priviliges that may be given will be duly appreciated by your Bro in the Gospel John M Lewis
Letter from George Goddard, 18 May 1892
No 1 Goddards Court E. 2nd South Salt Lake City May 18, 1892 [shorthand] Goddard [Shorthand] [Shorthand] Prest W. Woodruff & Council My dear Brethren. The near completion of our Temple The rapidity & importance of passing events, and more especially the growing habit of using Tobacco and intoxicating drinks by the youth of Israel, have borne with considerable weight upon my mind, until a settled conviction has forced itself upon me, that some special effort was needed at the present time, as a check and preservation from this dreadful condition. I firmly believe that the inaugeration of a Latter day saint Temperance Society would produce a wonderful reformation not only amongst the youth, but thedadult portion of our community. The "Word of wisdom" has been preached so long, until it has actually become distasteful to many.
