Letter to Milton Henry Hardy, 10 January 1895
Bro. M. H. Hardy,
Provo.
Dear Brother:—
Your favor of the [illegible] th inst., with accompanying letters,
duly received.
In reply permit me to say, that Presidents Woodruff and
Cannon have declined to give a somewhat similar endorsement to a book
now being published by Elder B. [H.] Roberts, on the grounds that it would
be manifestly improper for the Presidency to do so.
Having refused Bro. Roberts, we do not see how we could do
otherwise towards Bro. Maeser. [Indeed] to consent to endorse one we
would be expected to endorse any [one suc[h]] who applied, which would be
exceedingly unwise.
The same principle is involved in such action on our part
as General Supts. of the Y. M. M. I. A.
We feel, therefore, while we have the very best of wishes
for Bro. Maeser, and would gladly aid him in every legitimate way, that
he himself would not wish to ask of us a favor which, however much we
would like to grant him, we [could not] consistently do, without making
ourselves liable to the importunities of many others.
Believing that Bros. Maeser's and Roberts' works will
stand on thier own merits, we are
Your Brethern,

Emporia, Kans., .
Pres. Wilford Woodruff,
Salt Lake City, Utah.
Dear Sir,
The penmanship department
of the Kansas State Normal School is
collecting the autographs of all the
prominent persons of the world, and
have chosen me to secure yours.
Will you write a sentence and your
signature on a sheet of paper and
send it in the enclosed envelope to
me? By so doing you will greatly
oblige a student.
Very sincerely yours,
Delpha Willett.

Preident Wilford Woodruff

Dear Sir
Enclosed find answer of Thos
Adams who has been called on a mission
and which he has sent to me for in^d^orsement
as he has never Joined any Ward since leav-
ing Parowan. Thos Adams is my Brother
and he has been living in Salt Lake for
several years engaged in the saw business
as I presume you are well aware of
Thos Adams is a man of good habits
and of faith in the Gospel: I am very
much pleased with his willing responce
to the call and I think he will make an
efficient missionary, he writes me that
if it could be arranged and ^if^ you were
willing he would much prefer to go to
Europe than to the Southern States
as he could then gather some geneology
for the family which would be

Letter to William Budge, 10 January 1895
Prest. Wm. Budge,
Paris.
Dear Brother:—
In reply to your favor, in which you enclose a letter
from a Mr. B., we have to say thanrt we have received no new light in re-
gard to the subject matter of which you write, that we stand upon the
same ground that we did when we last conversed with you, namely, that
our bethren should stand by Mr. n[S]weet as long as there is any prospect of
his getting the nomination; but [t]hat ancin the event of his failing to
secure the requisite number of votest to nominate him, our brethren should
then, without doubt, give theereir strength to the winning man, always
guarding of course against causing bad feelings in the minds of our
friends or leaving room for suspnicion on their part of the lack of good
faith on our part. We rely upon you to give advice and counsel to our
brethren who are members of thue legislature as far as need be consistent
with the best interests of the people generally.
We are, with kinnd regards,
Your Brethren,
W. Woodruff
