Letter from George Goddard, 12 March 1895
Dear Brethren,
Your favor dated Feby28th, received this afternoon,
was carefully read and contents duly noted. While feeling grateful
for the expressions of satisfaction toward the labors of Brother Karl G
Maeser, & other members of our board with whom it has been my
pleasure to travel, in the interest of the youth of Zion, I feel equally
grateful for the timely caution and the reasons assigned therefor,
towards a habit which I alone have indulged in. The kind fatherly
spirit in which the subject is couched, and the explanations so convincing,
that while I feel humiliated in having earlier said, or done anything, as
to give you so much trouble to correct, I most heartily endorse the views
contained in your letter, and by the kind aid of my Heavenly Father
will govern myself in the future accordingly Your Brother
George Goddard
