Letter from George L. Miller, 17 March 1896

President Woodruff, Hon George Q Cannon, Vice President Smith. Gentlemen: A delegation of the leading men of Omaha go to Utah to day to confer with you and your people ^in the^ intenet of the ^proposed^ Omaha Exposition of the Northwestern states. I had hoped to accompany them, but circumstances did not permit it. My loss is in being denied the pleasure of meeting all of you again, which I have many reasons for regretting. The object of the call upon you by the Omaha's speaks for itself to men of your intelligence and broad views. I will not take your time to argue it. The representatives of our city will present the whole case as they understand it. I [surely] bespeak for them, and for the important interests with which they are charged, every consideration at the hands of the distinguished and powerful men when I am proud to cherish among my much [beloved?] friends Sincerely, and with great respect, George L Miller
