Letter from Alfred Solomon, 4 March 1893
President Woodruff and Council Salt Lake City Utah Dear Brethren We have just received a Letter from Elder Don C W Musser of the Turkish Mission containing Statistical Report &c, He says He wish He could have a Companion to Labor with Him as He beleive He could accomplish more, I thought I had better submit this to you, that you could advise us on the matter We have Eight Elders just come in from the Scandinavian Mission who will sail, with about the same number of Elders, from England, and a few Saints from London and other places, on the Ship, Majestic, March 8th.

Letter from Orson Smith, 4 March 1893
First Presidency, Dear Brethern At our last semi anual conference the R R fares were $3.80 round trip ticket. Where as excursion rates to Garfield and Provo, were only $2.80 so I am credably informed, That is from the Logan Station in Cache Valley, the same ratio will hold through out. It seems inconsistant to our people that this difference should be made, since our journey to and from S. L. City is kept up with such regularity. Is there any moove looking to a reduction of rates to our coming conference? If it was thought wise to make a general moove in this matter, do you not think something could be done? At the old rate it will cost the saints of this Stake, for fare alone about $11,400.00 cash With kind regards Your Brother Orson Smith
