Letter from George Teasdale, 9 August 1893

Dear President Woodruff: We are shut out from communication with the outside world because of the high waters, caused by the heavy rains, and the floods. The rivers are booming and travel at a stand still. We have been very busy at the "Snow House" where I reside. You may remember I told you that the ceil- ings of the two down stairs rooms had never been plastered, and that the plastering in the upstairs rooms was falling off in conse- quence of a man attempting to plaster the rooms without knowing how. Ever since we have lived here I wanted the ceilings plastered and the upstairs repaired. But I could not reach it until a fortnight ago when by a combination of fortuitous circumstan ces, men and materials were obtained and everything had to be turned out, for furniture, plaster and whitewash do not agree very well, and for nearly a fortnight we were as uncomfortable as any one could wish us. But after tribulation cometh the blessing. And the plasterers having departed and the house cleaned we are now getting into shape and are more comfortable than we have ever been in Mexico. I wish you could see us. The President has read this and says let it be answered kindly. J. F. S.
