Letter from E. Neuteboom, 14 May 1895
Ogden, Utah,
President Wilford Woodruff
Salt Lake City Utah.
Dear Brother—when I was in S. Lake a few
weeks ago reporting my labors done in the Net-
herlands Mission; President Jos. F. Smith asked
me to see if I could not find some good
Hollanders for a mission to their natiave
land, and if I would find any, to report.
Theirfore I take pleasure in presenting the
name of a good faithfull brother or Elder
which I have known on my first mission
in Holl. and also here in Zion.
And as we need Elders over their who
are acquainted with the language, custums
of the people, and the Gospel, I think this
is a very good man for that country.
He has no famely, but I have no doubt
but what his wife is able and willing to
take care of hersel during his absents.
Letter from Arthur Stayner, 14 May 1895
SALT LAKE CITY,
Presidents Wilford Woodruff, George Q. Cannon & Joseph F. Smith:
Dear Brethren:
The manufacture of our leather and footwear is now within
the reach of this people. For the articles depending upon this manufacture we
are sending out of the Territory from one to one and a half millions a-
year. To save this outgo and to pay this large amount of money to producers
and operatives at home instead of abroad, would be assuredly a matter
of vast importance to the financial interests and domestic economy of the people,
and important factor in rendering them self-dependent.
The Canaigre root has been proved to contain tanning power to a
remarkable degree, and of superior quality capable of tanning all kinds
of leather. It has been further proved that the root responds generously
to cultivation, and what is most important, that it will bear the cold
of the winters in this locality, (Salt Lake City) thus enabling the farmers
to secure a new and profitable crop with an assured market, and to raise
that crop where it is needed to be used with the minimum of transportation.
To inaugurate this industry at the earliest opportunity among the people
will require an energetic, continuous and persistent effort. If it is not objectionable
to you I am ready to undertake this labor, being now in possession of
the information necessary to its accomplishment.
If this movement meets your mind and engages your sympathy
will you contribute out of Church funds a small sum such as $25 or
$30 per month for a few months, to assist in defraying the expense of its inauguration
Respectfully submitted
Your brother in the Gospel
Arthur Stayner.
Letter from Alexander Findlay Macdonald, 14 May 1895
Colonia Juarez
Chihuahua, Mexico
President Woodruff
&Counsellors - Box B. Salt Lake City, Utah-
Dear Brethern I sent you enclosed a letter,
from Fernando Lora, who is now in the City of Mexico.
visiting relatives, and preaching the Gospel.
He was appointed by Governor Ahumada of this ^state^ , Judge of
Civil Register for Colonies Juarez,, and Pacheco, he yet holds
the office, as the Governor has not made another appointment
thus far. but we are taking care of the Records, and have
advised him to return, rather than have a stranger appointed
us, as the Governor claimed the Registar should be a native
Also send your letters received from Mr. J. Trejo- which will
explain themselves; he appears to have some trials, and I may say
he was first disappointed, in not geting the permit to go into the
State of Sonora, via the Oaxaca Colony of "Parson" Williams as they required
he should stay there, then he concluded to Labor on the San Pedro & Gila River
Settlements for the time being, as his letter states he came on to Durango, and
afterward returned to St David, where he has a family.
In view of his poor health and discouragements, we have invited
him to come in via El Paso; visit the Colonies and work from any
point he may choose to locate himself, which it seems has
decided him to go into Sonora alone, before moving a family.
and we may hear from him again on his actions.
Bro. Geo Reynolds; told me to instruct Bro. Lora to report his labors
south, which I did; but as he may return sooner thought you
would be gratified to know the spirit he manifests and he
probably would not report himself to you.
With best wishes, I am yours in the Gospel Covn.
A. F. Macdonald
