Letter to Eliza Smith, 6 March 1893
Mrs. Eliza Smith,
Dear Sister:
Emma received your letter and would like to accommodate you,
but she did not have the money. In talking the matter over, however, I
concluded to borrow the money for you and herewith enclose you the $110
in post office orders. Please acknowledge the receipt of the same, and
state what the money is to be used for, whether it is to be paid the
government for title to the land, or not.
I also enclose a blank note for your signature, as evidence
of the indebtedness; please sign and return. I hope you will be able to
save your property especially if you are able to get a living on it. Do
not sell it merely for the sake of paying this note of $110.
Your Brother,
Wilford Woodruff
P.S.
Not being able to procure Post Office orders, I send you
our State Bank cashier's check instead.
