Letter from Arnold H. Schulthess, Henry Reiser, and Herman Grether, 20 March 1894

Salt Lake City, Utah, . Prest. Wilford Woodruff, Prest. Geo. Q. Cannon, Prest. Joseph F. Smith, First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, City. Dear Brethren: Your kindness, by granting the German speaking Saints in Zion the privilege of meeting together as a German Meeting at our last Conference, has been very highly appreciated, especially those that scome from different parts of Zion that cannot speak the English lan- guage yet and never have this privilege of hearing the word of God in their own tongue. These meetings have resulted in much good, by speak- ing of the good things which we hear at the General Conference, and by the people meeting their friends and expressing their good feelings and wishes to each other. We therefore ask you to kindly grant us this privilege again at our coming Conference, and also to kindly grant us the use of the Assembly Hall. If it does not interfere with any of your meet- ings, we would prefer to hold our meeting in the evening of any day during Conference. Hoping you will be able to act favorably in this matter, we are, Your Servants in the Cause of Truth, ARNOLD H. SCHULTHESS, HENRY REISER, HERMANN GRETHER. P.S. Address reply to Henry Reiser, #12 E. 1st South St.

Letter from Leonard John Nuttall, 20 March 1894

President Wilford Woodruff, Dear Brother: I have examined the correspondence between Bro. Orson B. Arnold, of Coalville, and President David K. Udall and W. H. Gibbons, of the St. Johns Stake of Zion, pertaining to the indebtedness as claimed by Bros. W. H. Gibbons, Willard Farr and J. W. Brown, the Executive Board of Education of the St. Johns Stake Academy against Bro. Orson B. Arnold, as requested by you. From the papers it appears that Orson B. Arnold and his father each received from Bp. D. K. Udall ten acres of land and a city lot of the land known as the St. Johns Purchase. This purchase was made by funds furnished by the President of the Church in aid of the early settlers at St. Johns in the Arizona Mission. Subsequently the whole matter of the purchase was put into the hands of Bishop D. K. Udall, so that he could deal with the settlers in the distribution of this purchase to the end that the money advanced by the Church should be returned on the sale of the lands. The settlers, as they located in the country, took such of this land as they needed, and understanding the terms of payments, generally made part payments in stock, &c. and gave notes for the balance. As I remember, when this purchase was made, it was only of the squatters titles or claims and not as government surveyed lands and the water claims ware held pro rata with the Mexican and other settlers; each having possessory rights, and the sales to our brethren were made on these conditions and with this understanding.
