Letter from Franklin Dewey Richards, Moses Thatcher, Seymour Bicknell Young, and John Jaques, 11 June 1895

S L City To Presidents Wilford Woodruff, Geo. Q. Cannon, and Joseph F. Smith. Dear Brethren—In the case of Elizabeth Foxall Palmer and James Palmer, of Grantsville, on appeal from Tooele Stake High Council, we find it difficult to come to a satisfactory conclusion, unless we have an idea of the approximate amount of property which Brother Palmer has. We therefore respectfully suggest that you have President Hugh S. Gowans, of Tooele City, written to, asking him for a list of the property Brother Palmer holds, real and personal, so far as it can be ascertained with reasonable effort. We should also like to know the respective ages of Brother Palmer's children by his several wives, in order that we may be the better enabled to render a just judgment in the case. Respectfully your brethren in the Gospel, F. D. Richards. Moses Thatcher Seymour B Young John Jaques

Letter from Franklin Dewey Richards, Moses Thatcher, Seymour Bicknell Young, and John Jaques, 11 June 1895

Salt Lake City, . To Presidents Wilford Woodruff, Geo. Q. Cannon, and Joseph F. Smith. Dear Brethren—In the case of Hannah S. Olsen and Catharine Lewis, of Logan, on appeal from the Cache Stake High Council, we find that the evidence presented appears to us to justify the decision of the Council. Although Sister Olsen claimed that she was willing to give a mortgage on the property in question as soon as she received the abstract, yet she still refused, even when her own attorney advised her to give it. We therefore respectfully recommend that the decision of the High Council be affirmed. We notice in passing that in the hearing of this case only five members of the High Council proper were present, whereas the Book of Covenants states that seven should be present. But, as neither of the parties before the Council in this case took any exceptions or objected to these facts, our remarks in this connec- tion have a bearing more upon future cases. We remain Your brethren, &c. F. D. Richa[r]ds Moses Thatcher Seymour B Young John Jaques
