Letter from Philip Starkey Maycock, 5 February 1896

Letter to Brigham Young Jr., 5 February 1896

P. O. Box B. Salt Lake City, Utah, Elder Brigham Young, Dear Brother: Inasmuch as you have been appointed to attend the San Juan Stake Conference, which will be held at Bluff on the 22nd and 23rd insts., we wish you to consider the following items of business while there. You may find it necessary to release the Presi- dent of the Stake and Bishop Neilsen of the Bluff Ward, in consequence of their advanced age and growing infirmities. We suggest Platt D. Lyman for President and Cumen Jones for Bishop should you find it agree- able and proper to make such changes. Of course you will consult the feelings of the people in these matters. We understand the spiritual and temporal prosperity of the Stake require a change in the adminis- trative officers. The Burnham Ward should have another Bishop. Bro. Luther Burnham seems to consider the labor of presiding in that ward too oner- ous in his present straitened circumstances, and that a more active man would suit the people better. If you find this to be the case, make such changes as may be necessary for the spiritual and temporal prosper- ity of the people of that ward. The Jensen case ought to be handled with care. If, on inves- tigation, you find that Bro. Jensen of Mancos was justified in not attending the San Juan Conference recently held at Fruitland, continue your investigation of the case, which he (Jensen) submitted to us, at the Stake Conference which will be held at Bluff on the 22nd and 23rd insts.
