Letter from William Budge, 17 December 1895
President W Woodruff.
Salt Lake City.
Dear Bro
I received your letter of the 14th per Bro Reynolds,
this morning, in relation to Bro Herbert Horsley, and by the
same mail came Bro Horsley himself with a letter from his
Bishop.
Bro Horsley manifested a very good disposition, and
I believe he is now under the influence of the right spirit,
and I have considerable confidence that he will do a good work.
He is an old friend of mine, and we had a confidential conver-
sation which resulted in withdrawing any objection on my part
to his going on his mission.
I told him that the information the Presidency acted
upon was sent by me, and why I felt under an obligation to send it.
He did not dispute what I had heard. I had in the meantime
sent for his Bro Thos Horsley, my informant, not knowing but Herbr
Herbert might request my authority, but he did not, and I of-
course let it rest not wishing to have possible trouble.
Bro Horsley has not been slandered. The Bishops letters
do not defend him, or justify him, only as to his present
desires, all from good feelings on their part, as they think with
all his friends that this mission is a turning point in Bro
Horsleys life, and I have better hopes today for him than I
have had for many years. I believe this check has been a blessing
to him, and he went away feeling first-rate.
I make a somewhat lengthy statement, as I do not wish to be
considered too particular, and if I told you how long we have

Letter from William Corcoran, 17 December 1895
My Dear Mr Woodruff
I received your literature
which you so kindly forwarded to me
when I wrote you. I have studied
it every day since I received it and
I am glad to say I believe it so
far. If it would not be too much
trouble I would ask you as a favor
whenever it is convienient to you
to forward me more as I took
a great interest in the above.
I have heard a great account of
the Mormon People and that is my
reason for writing of course some people
talk about plural marriages connected
with it no matter talk is cheap as I say
we cannot stop peoples mouths
Letter from George Teasdale, 17 December 1895
President Wilford Woodruff,
Salt Lake City, Utah.
My beloved brother:
We are all
plunged into the deepest sorrow and dissapoint
ment at the death of my beloved companion
Ettie. She had been sick about five weeks and
we have faithfully administered to her and wait-
[e]d upon her believing she would recover and
accompany us to Utah and take up our abode
at Nephi; but we are sadly disappointed. She
has had a time of suffering and we have had one
of anxiety and hope. I confess I have been decei-
ved for I had all confidence she would recover.
It is the greatest disappointment of my life. She
is much beloved and faithful prayers have
been offered up for her by all her friends in
public and in private, at the fast meeting and
conference but it has pleased our Father in
heaven to take her and we are left in desolation.
It was so unlooked for. And yet, my beloved
brother, we are trying to be reconciled to the will of
Him who doeth all things well no matter how
