Letter from Thomas Edwin Ricks and Others, 15 June 1895
President W. Woodruff Salt Lake City Dear Brother, Some time ago there was a move to organize a company of militia here but we headed it off with the understanding that you did not think it was a wise thing to encourage at that time. There is opportunity again to move in that direction and we would like to hear what you have to say in regard to the matter Your Brother in the Gospel T. E. Ricks Wm F Rigby Thomas E Bassett
Letter from Evan Stephens, 15 June 1895
Salt Lake City &, Utah, To Presidents Wilford Woodruff; Geo Q. Cannon and Jos F Smith; Dear Bretheren: - The Cambrian Sociey of Utah (including the leading Welsh Bret^h^eren of our people), have inaugurated their National Institution the Eisteddfod, contests in music, poetry and art, and one similiar to that held at the World's Fair is contemplated for next fall in this city. At a meeting, held o recently, of the program committee, of which they had elected me chairman, it was urged upon me to solicit you for the use of the Tabernacle in which to hold this musical festival; associating with it the tabernacle choir, into whose treasury they are willing to turn over twenty per cent of gross receispts from the three meetings contemplated. As it will create cons^i^d- erable interest throughout musical circles everywhere, and amg among the Welsh people in particular. While most of the benef- -it must accrue to our own organizationss choirs etc. (Prizes to the amount of nearly two thousand dollars will be given.) which will haveing a tendency to stimulate our musical organizat- ions to much action, and is such an event would naturally inter- fere with any other plans the choir might try to carry out ne- xt fall I am inclined to beleive, if there are no serious ob- jections, that to grant the use of the building under such conditions would be the best means of aiding the choir and would be amply justified from the noble character of the work, our position in encouraging musical progress, and the scale upon which it is carried on; all reflecting, indirectly at least, credit upon our community. The society would desire the afternoon an and evening the day before conferance, and the first night of conferance, which I thought might be used in place of our usual tabernacle choir concert. I am favorable to such an ar- rangement. Will you bretheren give it your consideration and inform me at your earliest convenience of your decision Your Brother, Evan Stephens
