Letter from Henry Smith Tanner, 16 August 1894
San Francisco, Cal. . To 1st Presidency Deat Brethren: I arrived in San Francisco yesterday noon and found the Brethren glad to see me. Had most anything but a pleasant trip—it was so very warm and dirty. It will take something superior to man's power to reach this people, apparently religion is all a dream to them. I will be glad to recieve any instuctions you feel like I need, but chances here look quite slim to me—in some repects; but can tell better when I investigate more. The Brethren join me in love to you and in praying the Lord to continue to bless you. Your Brother in the Gospel H. S. Tanner.
Letter from F. P. Sweet, 16 August 1894
Prest Wilford Woodruff Dear Bro, while in the city in July, I talked with Bro A. H. Cannon about my financial matters in the talk his advice seemed to be that I should get on a farm with my family. Sinece that I have traveled a long way in search of a place and the most favorable location that I have found is at Fruita, Mesa Co Colorado. My brother in law and myself have made arrangements whereby we think we can secure a farm. several other brethen that have no farms and others that are dissatisfied with their present location requested us to ascertain what chances there was for securing lands in our travels. The place we have decided to locate in seems to us a peculiarly favored locality in many respects particularly in the good quality of the land, fine climate, cheap fuel, very good markets, Rail Road facilities and an abundance of good water. One great drawback that we find is an entire absence of Latter dDay Saints (except of the Josephite persuasion). Most of the people here are from the East
