Letter from Niels Peter Nephi Hansen, 13 October 1894
President Wilford Woodruff Dear Brother I always like to ask advice in maters of importance. I have been going with a good mormon girl for a year, we have been engaged for over six months, she is seventeen years old and I am twenty, she wants gto get married about Christmas. Will you please write and tell me what you think about it, Do you think it is wise for us to get married?
Letter from Lemuel Alexander Pace, 13 October 1894
New Harmony, Utah, . President Wilford Woodruff. Dear Brother: On or about Sept. 15, 1892 Elder John Rohner was called on a mission to his native country, Switzerland, but being at that time not able to go on account of sickness he was notified to report him self when he was able to go; from that time on he was not able to attend to his affairs properly and on Oct. 12, he passed to the other side. I thought it propper to report the same to you. Your brother in the Gospel L. A. Pace. I guess we will be obliged to give him an honorable release from the call. J. F. S.
Letter from James Edward Talmage, 13 October 1894
Salt Lake City, . (Dictated). The First Presidency, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, City; Dear Brethren: In the early part of April last the subject of the proper ventilation of the Tabernacle engaged your attention; and you requested me to take charge of the matter and to instruct the custodians and deacons of the building in their duties. At your suggestion, the Stake Presidency of the Salt Lake Stake conveyed to me a similar request or appointment for all Stake proceedings in the Tabernacle. I am able now to make to yourselves and to the Stake Pres- idency a report on the subject. At the begin^n^ing of my labors I instituted a series of tests and experiments on the condition of the ienclosed air before, during, and after the regular Sabbath afternoon service. Without wearying you with data and details of the experiments, I announce a conclusion which might have been accepted from a reasonable study of the conditions, that unless adequate avenues of ingress and egress of air are provided, the air becomes dangerously vitiated within a few minutes after the congregation has gathered. According to measurements and calculations by Architect Don C. Young, the Tabernacle has an air capacity of 1,825,588 cubic feet; let us suppose the building to be occupied by 8000 adults; and let us allow to each the amount of air generally accept- ed as necessary to healthful respiration, viz., 3000 cubic feet of air
