To the First Presidency
of the Church
Dear Brethren,
I respectfully ask your
permission and indulgence to lay before you
a few facts, which I consider of grave im-
port at the present time.
The Sunday attractions at the "Saltair
Bathing Resort" are producing a very
prejudicial influence over the minds of
the growing youth of Zion.
From the fact of the General Manager
(Nephi W. Clayton) being ^one^ of the Seventy
Apostles of this last dispensation using his
ingenuity to induce as many as possible
to become Sabbath breakers, and Lovers of
pleasure more than lovers of God, and also

Salt Lake City.
Dear Brethren:
Replying to your favor of recent
date stating that my ^name^ was suggested as one
suitable to be called to take a 20 weeks course in the
Normal Sunday school course in the B. Y. Academy
Provo, and that my name was decided upo[n], or selected
as one, and request to be there Jan. 1st 1894.
It seems to me that it would be much ^more^ prudent
to have some younger man that would be more apt,
and would be more at liberity and would have a longer
life of usefulness before him, to attend.
But if it is thought I can do more good in that
direction, and the Priesthood wishes me so to labor I am
willing and on hand to do what I can.
I shall arrange my affairs and be at Provo on the
above mention date unless I am otherwise advised
