Letter from Nancy Lucinda Woodruff, 5 December 1892

Dear Uncle, Wilford Woodruff. Undoubt- edly you will be surprised to receive a letter from me after my long silence. I am not real sure that I ans- wered your letter written after my father's death. Closely upon my papa's death my strength gave way from the severe strain and for a long time I was miserable to think of writing to any one.

Letter from Lyman Royal Martineau, 5 December 1892

Logan, Utah, . President Wilford Woodruff, and Counselors. Salt Lake City. Dear Brethren: I respectfully write you, thinking it better than to personally visit you, to ask your kind consideration for one of our oldest & most worthy Bishop's—I re- fer to Bp. Thomas X. Smith of Logan 4th Wd. I do this from my personal acquaintance with his affairs for several years & not ast his instigation. Bp Smith presides over his large ward faithfully & has done for 30 years; & has struggled against many obstacles to rear & educate a large family.

But ever since the underground drove him from active life, his financial affairs have steadily grown unprofitable until he has had to sacrifice his farm, & place in jeopardy his
