Letter from Ephraim Louis Saunders, 11 July 1894
Salt Lake City July 11th 1894 President Wilford Woodruff Dear Brother—I was shockingly suprised the other day when I received from your honorable Authority the letter of appointment as a missionary to the Indian Territory. As I begin to recover myself and get reconciled to such an important calling, as proclaiming the Gospel, I feel ^the^ responsibility of duty resting upon me, and at the same time my inability and weakness to
Letter from James Sullivan Clarkson, 11 July 1894
My dear Sir: Having at last reached success in the passage through Congress of the bill admitting Utah to Statehood, it is due to you to know something of the more important details of the long and difficult contest. The victory which has been reached has come only through the help of friends whose services can never be forgotten, and through a patience and persistence of effort which I have never seen equalled. Indeed, in this contest have been found nearly all the experiences of effort and resistance, of fidel- ity as against conspiracy, of loyalty to friends as against temptation, and truly all the experiences nearly that make up the struggles in human life and effort. Coming into it at a comparatively late stage, and having passed through before many noted contests, and not having the intense feeling of the struggle for home and independence that you and your people have felt after so many long and weary years of waiting, I have naturally been able to judge more impartially of the struggle, of the work of the people who have figured in it, of the unworthiness of those who have failed in fidelity, and of the debt of gratitude that all of you must forever owe to those who have stood in the storm, and through the stress and trial of years overcoming every obstacle, foiling every treachery, have brought you triumph at last. In my observation of your people and my analysis of their character I should judge that they are peculiarly en- dowed with the qualities of appreciation and gratitude. It has been a long and bitter school in which they have been taught the value of friendship, and the withering, bitter, unrelenting force of enmity. It is difficult even now to see, as in a few years it will be impossible for any fair man to see, how remorselessly and persistently prejudice and malice have followed you and your people in the crusade of over a generation against you. As intelligent and Christian people, however, you have that quality which is the most divine in human nature, the quality of forgiveness; and as I have watched this struggle year after year and seen how strangely things have come out, how your enemies
Letter from Karl G. Maeser, 11 June 1894
17 1/2 Oak Str. San Francisco, . President Wilford Woodruff. Dear Brother, The Administration of the Midwinter Fair have de- cided to make July 4th the closing day of the Fair. In consideration of this decision and after having conferred with Sister Margaret A. Caine, in charge of the Utah Territorial Exhibit, I have arranged with our Missionaries to assist me in packing up the things belonging to our Educational Exhibits, commencing the day following and hoping to finish it all in one day. It will all come back in charge of the Territorial Exhibit and be labeled accordingly, including the things from the Brigham Young Academy, Provo, everything to go to Salt Lake City. Sister Caine says, there will be no special charge for our boxes. It may take sometime, however, before the turn for the Utah Exhibit comes, to be shipped, until that time one of our Missionaries, if I should not be here then anymore, would have to see to the loading of our things into the car. I shall have a correct invoice of all the articles and books shipped back, and settle with the
