Letter from Edward Meeks McArthur and William Daniel Bowring, 11 July 1895

Marshall, . President Wilford Woodruff, Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Brother: I have been instructed by Prest. Andrew Kimball to organize a colony of saints from Oklahoma and Indian Territory and go with them to Old Mexico. Since I received this instruction I have been endeavoring to carry it out, and have been successful in getting a small company nearly ready to start. All being well we will leave on the 15th of this month. Was also requested to send you the names of all who are goin^g^ with me which are as follows: Bro. W. N. Triplett and wife and five children Amos P. Ward and wife and three children John E. Hunter, wife and seven children, Llewellyn O. Ward. All are members of the church and in good standing, except two of Bro. Triplett's boys who have not joined the church yet, one is 15 and the other 13 years of age. As such we recommend them to any branch or ward of the church that they may wish to locate. Everything is moving along nicely in Oklahoma Mission as far as I know. Very respectfully Your Brother in the Gospel of Christ, E. M. McArthur, W. D. Bowring. Original of this letter sent to Prest. Teasdale July 15, 1895.

Letter from Alonzo G. Gowans, 11 July 1895

Tooele City, . Pres. Wilford Woodruff, Salt Lake City. Dear brother: On the 9th. of this month I received a letter signed by your name stating that I had been named and accepted as a missionary to the Southern States and to be ready to start by the 24th. of August 1895. Now in regard to going; I am perfectly willing and desire to go on my mission, but would like if possible to have a little more time to prepare, as I hardly think I can be ready by the time stated in your letter, and if you can let me off until about October I would be very much pleased, but I am willing to do as you say. Respectfully Your brother in the Gospel Alonzo Gowans. [sideways text] Alonzo Gowans July 11 [18]95. [end of sideways text]

Letter from Franklin Dewey Richards, Robert Taylor Burton, Seymour Bicknell Young, and John Jaques, 11 July 1895

Salt Lake City, . To Presidents Wilford Woodruff, Geo. Q. Cannon, and Joseph F. Smith. Dear Brethren—Your Committee have carefully considered the docu- ments presented in the case of Brothers Silas S. Smith and J. P. Haynie, appealed from the High Council of San Luis Stake. It appears that several years ago Silas S. Smith, as a silent and equal partner, put $1000 into the store of Downey and Haynie, of Manassa, the said Downey and Haynie having previously invested an equal amount cash therein. The store proved to be not a success, said to be largely owing to giving too much credit, and S. S. Smith wanted his $1000 back with interest, the other two partners, Downey and Haynie, having drawn amounts, from the store, equal to their shares in it, and Smith not having drawn anything. The case, by agreement, went before three arbitrators, and also before the High Council, which accepted and adopted the decision of the arbitrators, which decision, as we understand it, was, briefly, That the total amount due S. S. Smith should be held at $1,600, with six per cent per annum interest from date of decision until paid, the whole to be paid out of the assets of the company, and not out of the personal or private property of either Haynie or Downey, and that J. P. Haynie be placed in possession of said company's property for the payment of said obligation. This appears to us to be an equitable decision, and we therefore respectfully recommend the affirmation of the decision of the High Council, with the under- standing of it as here presented. Your Brethren in the Gospel, F. D. Richards. R T Burton Seymour B Young John Jaques
