Letter from Thomas Edwin Ricks, 6 June 1893
Rexburg, Idaho,
Prest W. Woodruff
Salt Lake City
Dear Brother,
Bishop George Davis of Wilford
resigned at the ward conference held Sunday
May 28th. There was dissatisfaction in
the ward which has existed before and
since our letter to you of 3/17/1890, and the
action of Brother Davis now, is in accordance
with our suggestion to him as you advised
us Mar. 24, 1890. The Presidency of the
Stake and High Council had the matter under
consideration at there last meeting and
now beg to recommend for Bishop of
Wilford Brother Reuben Belnap
late First Counselor to Brother Davis.
Kindly inform us if you approve of
Brother Belnap and oblige
Your Brethren in the Gospel
T E Ricks
Yes. And when any of the Apostles can meet there
the B'prick can be set in order. J. F. S.
Bro. Gibbs should call attention to this on Thurs. [J. F. S.]
