Letter from Karl Gottfried Maeser, 5 December 1893
Provo,
President Wilford Woodruff.
Dear Brother,
in compliance with a suggestion of President Joseph F.
Smith, that I should apply to the respective Stake Presi-
dents to send me the traveling expenses, if they desired ^me^ to
fill my appointments within their Stakes, as there was
no money in the treasury of the General Board of Edu-
cation, I have done so and have recieved from all
of them [al]ready answer in some instances with the ac-
companying cash, all the way from Idaho into Ari-
zona. In conformity, therefore, with my appro[v]ed pro-
gram I started on my circuit around the churchschools
of southern Utah, Saturday, October 21st to Nephi.
President Paxman, having to attend court at Provo that
same day, had left all necessary instructions with the
Stake Academy Principal, Justin Call, with whom I
spent the afternoon in examining the records of the
Academy and getting posted in regard to the educa-
tional conditions of that Stake. By special invitation
of Pres. Paxman I had the privilege of attending and
addressing the beautiful Prayercircle, at Nephi, on
Sunday morning, followed by a visit to the Sunday school
