Letter from Andrew Kimball, 1 January 1895
To the First Presidency
President's Office,
City.
Dear Brethren:
Not being prepaired to give you
a detailed report of the Indian Territory Mission,
I will give you an idea of what is being done
by the following:
We have had 27 Elders in the
field during the year, two was released in Nov.
on account of sickness, one of those afflicted
with an ailment he had been troubled with before.
We now have 21 traveling Elders from Zion
and 4 Local Elders in the field. Making
a total, inclugding the Local Elders, of 25.
Baptisms at our last report 123, this year
35, making a total of 158. We have emigrated
9, and apostatized two leaving 147, of these
we have but 109 members. Children blessed
at last report 53, since 31, total 84.
Distributed 1146 tracts and a great many books,
an account of which, we have not received as yet.
Held 417 meetings, with an average attendance
of 21. We have organized 4 Branches,
and started 6 Sunday Schools, reports of which have
not been submitted. We have completed another
meeting house, dedicated this summer, built by
our Elders at a cost of $270, the best log house
in the Choctaw Nation. At this writing all are
well and prosperous in the Indian Territory Mission
as far as I know. Very Respctfully
Andrew Kimball.
Letter from Thomas Heddock Hilton, 1 January 1895
To The First Presidency,
Salt Lake City Utah.
Dear Brethren:
Please find inclosed the report,
filled out as you requested; also the statistical
report of the Samoan Mission.
We were somewhat disappointed at not receiving
a little financial assistance from you by this
mail, as we are so far behind. However we will
struggle on for another month, trusting in the
Lord to prepare our way. The Elders and Saints
are all feeling well in the Gospel, and now that
a new year has just commenced we feel to
renew our efforts to perform the duties incumbent
upon us. I humbly solicit your advice con-
cerning a habit some of our native Saints have
acquired, of taking cocoanuts, breadfruit, etc.
from the German plantation. We have taken a
stand against it, but they claim that the land
was stolen from them, and that the Germans
have no right to it, and they will not give up
the practice. The case has been before the courts
and was decided in favor of the Germans. In
my opinion the natives have no further right to
