Salt Lake City, Utah, To the First Presidency, City, Dear Brethren: While our verious Elders laboring at, and about St. John Kan, are succeeding admirably in ent- ertaining the good people who assemb- le each Sunday to listen to them. We feel very much the need of a visit from some of our good speakers and prominant men and women; and would ask as a favor, that you assist us by ask- ing any such who go East, and are not too much rushed, to go via St. John Kansas and give us a preach; by doing so, they will, with yourselves, confer a great favor. Very Respctfully Your brother Andrew Kimball. This suggestion should be borne in mind when any of our prominent Elders go to or return from the East. J. F. S.
