Letter from Samuel Taylor Rich, 8 May 1894

Mr Woodruff
Dear Brother
I received ^yours^ of april 23 and was
very thankful to know I was
numbered among the Latter day Sain
ts, though I think I hav much more
need to be taught than to teach
for it has only bee a very short time that
I hav been investigating myself
I had an idea that my mother was
a good Latter day Saint and so was
I but I find by reading the scrip
tures that we cannot be saved by
faith alone but by your works you
shall be judged juged now I do not
wish to be left out so I hav made
up my mind to go to work and
try and fulfill evry call that is made
if the Lord will giv me strength
to do it I never yet had the least
doubt as to the truth of our religion
and I hav upheld it and acknowle
edg it where ever I hav been
