First Presidency Dear Brethern, For a number of years there has been a discord in the Bishopric of the Millville Ward of this Stake and which has seemed to be irreparable. This has been very detrimental to the growth and developement of the Ward.

President Woodruff, Hon. Geo. Q. Cannon, Hon. Joseph A. Smith, City. Gentlemen:— On the 28th, 29th or 30th inst. there will be an excursion party of some three hundred prominent hotel men, bankers, and merchants with their wives from the eastern states who will stop in Salt Lake City for one day en route homeward from California. The Chamber of Commerce and the Associated Hotel Men of our city desire that they shall be nicely entertained during their stay here. In view of this, a programme has been arranged for a drive through- out the city, a special train the Saltair Beach and, if possible, a tabernacle concert. For the last named we now address you regard- ing it. They arrive here in the morning and will take the drive from half past ten until half past eleven and would like to go to the tabernacle at between that hour and twelve o'clock and listen to a half hour's music by the preofessor. Would it be consistent and please you to grant this request I am sure there will be no feature of the programme that will be more interesting than this, and if you will concent it will be greatly appreciated both by the visitors and by ourselves. We desire to have about twenty-five business men accom- pany the party on the drive, to the concert and to the lake and we would very much like your assistance. A number of prominent men have expressed a willingness to aid us and become a part of the reception
