Letter to David King Udall, 16 October 1892
Salt Lake City, Utah. .
PREST. DAVID K. UDALL,
St. Johns.
Dear Brother:
In accordance with the vote of the Priesthood which was taken in the
Salt Lake Temple on the 10th inst., apportionments of the amount necessary
to complete the Temple for its dedication on the 6th day of April, 1893, hv
have been made to the various stakes of Zion. The apportionment to your
stake is $600.00. The allotments to the stakes have been placed as
low as possible, and it is necessary that each stake make up its full
amount.
We suggest that you and your counselors consider the circumstances of
the brethren of your stake, and select therefrom as many as are able to
pay say from one to four hundred dollars each, to complete the House of
the Lord; and then an appeal be made to them to pay such amounts as you
may deem proper. This being done you can then call upon the other mem-
bers of your stake to make up whatever amount is necessary to complete
your allotment.
If the money is paid, say, one half on or before December 15th 1892,
and one half on or before March 1st 1893, it will answer the purpose. But
we trust you will bring this matter to the attention of the Saints without
delay, as there must be no failure in this great undertaking.
