Letter from Henry Smith Tanner, 19 November 1894
118-10th St., San Francisco, Cal. .
First Presidency of Church of Jesus Christ of L.D.S.
Salt Lake City, Utah.
Dear Brethren:
Your favor of 15th inst. at hand.
Elder John Mc Donald reached here in due time. I
wish there were some more of such men to come
and labor among their relatives if only for a few months.
Yes! I have moved to the address of 118-10th St. While
we held services on 29-11th St, a family of people
had to live in the rooms below to reduce the rent, and
we roomed there ^with Bro. Mortensen^. When we changed our place ofor
holding services—we had to move. We have two rooms
at the present, on the second floor. A front room which
we use for a bed-room and sleepingr sitting room, and
a back room which we use for a kitchen. They cost us
$15.00 a month. Any time Sister Tanner goes home
I can give up the kitchen, but a front room alone will cost
$12.00. I have been to a great many places that were for rent
and this is the best I could get. Rent seems very high.
I have tried to investigate the nature of things here
and I think we need women here as well as men.
If we could have a few ^worthy^ young men just married
or with a small family called and sent here to help us thoroughly
