Parowan Preident Wilford Woodruff Salt Lake City 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 over

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 that 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. Sweet as long as there is any prospect of his getting the nomination; but that in the event of his failing to secure the requisite number of votes to nominate him, our brethren should then, without doubt, give their strength to the winning man, always guarding of course against causing bad feelings in the minds of our friends or leaving room for suspicion 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 the legislature as far as need be consistent with the best interests of the people generally. We are, with kind regards, Your Brethren, W. Woodruff Jos. F. Smith

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, W. Woodruff Jos. F. Smith
