Letter from James Jones, 18 June 1895

To The Chief Minister of Religion. (Mormon) Salt Lake City. Utah. U. S. A. Reverend Sir. My uncle, Samuel Jones. (and his wife Hannah.) left this country for your settlement as near as I can guess, sometime between the years 1848 and 1852. He was a native of Newmarket, a village in Flintshire, North Wales. His father was James Jones, Nailor. "The Walks" Newmarket, Flintshire. My uncle Samuel Jones, was, I believe, also a nailor (or nail maker), he was also a very good musician, like all our family, and performed on the Clarionet and the Flute, and Keyed-Bugle, and other musical instruments. He had no children at the time he left this country. He had one sister, Mary,

Letter from John Walderman Beck, 18 June 1895

To the First Prests of the Church of Jesus Christ of L.D.S. Dear Brethren: The S S. Mariposa arrived here on the 13th Inst. bringing Bro's. Geo. Leonard and Geo. Burnham; they are well and delighted with their first introduction to Samoa, they have had a plesant voyage. We also received a box of articles which you kindly sent, for which please accept our hearty thanks. We were somewhat disappointed in not receiving a letter from you as this is the third time we have been disappointed We do not know know whether you have forgettene us or whether it is the many cares and much labor that you have to do that has prevented you from writing. We suppose however it is the latter, or hope so at least, for we would not like to be forgotten, neither would we like to be without your council and instruction from time to time as we feel our weakness, and need of your instruction & watchcare. Am pleased to report that all the Elders are well and enjoying themselves in the Work of the Lord which is progressing, slowly. We get monthly communication from the Friendly Islands the Elders there are also well and getting along well although not meeting with much appaarent success. Their greatest difficulty however seems to be financial stringency; for several months they have appealed to us for help but we are about as helpless as they are. We have not pressed the matter and shall not do so as Bro. Hilton has told you their true con- dition, as well as well as ours. The Samoan Government is in a very unsettled condition, but nothing of a serious nature has developed neither do we look for any still their unsettled states gives us much unplsantness as many of our Saints are moved from place ^to place^ and many fall. There are several places that we are thinking of opening up branches of the Church if peace is restored; there are also other Islands all the way from 300 to 1000 miles from here where the people speak the Samoa[n] language and, when our

Letter from Franklin Dewey Richards, Moses Thatcher, Seymour Bicknell Young, and John Jaques, 18 June 1895

Salt Lake City, To President Wilford Woodruff, Geo. Q. Cannon, and Joseph F. Smith. Dear Brethren—Your Committee, having carefully considered the case between Thomas Broadbent and J. C. B. Jensen, heard and determined by the Bishop's Court of the Elsinore Ward, and subsequently by the High Council of the Sevier Stake, have reached the conclusion that the decision of the Bishop's Court, as later affirmed by the High Council, is not justified by the evidence of the record. To our minds the conclusion that there had been one definite understanding between the brethren named as to the use of the roadway over the land claimed by Brother Jensen is not war- ranted by the evidence in the case, the testimony showing clearly that a larger quantity of land be- longing to Brother Thomas Broadbent had been and is still used for waste water-way for the benefit of Brother Jensen than that used for a roadway by Brother Broadbent and belonging to Brother Jensen. That such ditches were beneficially used by Brother Broadbent himself in no way lessens, in our view, the vallue accruing to Brother Jensen. It is clearly shown by the record that the roadway was used previous to the acquirement of the land by Brother Jensen, thus giving an acquired right to those who used it. One of the witnesses advised,
