Dear Brethren:
On the 17th, inst. $500.00 was sent Bro. Lorus Pratt and we
now enclose a draft for $1,000.00 (5,117 Francs), on Messrs Monroe, Rue
Scribe, in his favor.
When the $500.00 was sent to Bro. Pratt we had not received any answer
to our letter of April 18th, but since it was mailed Bro. Pratt's favor of
May 4th, has come to hand. We were disappointed in not hearing from all
of you.
When we receive a reply to ours of April 28th, we expect to be able to
write you with a better understanding of your several views on the mural
decoration of the Salt Lake Temple. Today we simply suggest the way in
which the $1500.00 sent you, in these two remittances, should be divided.
Our suggestions being based on the information given us in Bro. Pratt's
letters. He states that he and Bro. Fairbanks intend to return home next
July, and to do so he will require $450.00 and Bro. Fairbanks $350.00, making
together $800.00. This leaves a balance of $700.00 which we suggest a
should be equally divided among Elders Haag, Evans and Clawson, for their
maintenance and current expenses during the next few months. If the sit-
uation is changed, and different arrangements have been made regarding the
