Letter from Benjamin Cluff Jr. to the First Presidency, 11 May 1896

Provo City, Utah. . Presidents Wilford Woodruff and Jos. F. Smith, Supt'cy. Y.M.I.A. S. L. City, Utah. Dear Bretheren: As our school year is about to a close, permit me to call your attention to the arrangement for the support of the M. I. Normal Class in the Academy, entered into by us last year. It was agreed that for this course $1,000.00 should be paid, $750.00 in tithing by the church, and $250.00 by the M. I. Association in cash. If it is convenient for you to issue or- ders to cover these amounts, the Academy will be very thankful, as it desires to square its accounts with its teachers and others by the close of the year. I remain Very respectfully, your brother in the Gospel, B. Cluff, Jr

Letter from James T. White, 11 May 1896

Pres Wilford Woodruff Dear Brother I take This opportunity to write you for informa- tion I have been wanting to ask you for this knowledge for some time but I know you was troubled with many uncalled for and needless questions. But its sumer that I cant decide for myself. Now I desire to locate in a warmer climate as its sumer I cant never get reconciled to this cold one and for the last 2 or 3 yrs I have been anxious to make a change and I am now thinking of going to Old Mexico - and again I realize it is hard times to be moving around. I came here from the South: Now to be plain if I knew the Lord wanted me to stay in Colo I think it would settle me at once but if no objections I cant see why I cant do right in a warmer country as well as here. Now will you please write me and tell me what to do as you see my desires and that is to obey your counsel and I will re- ceive it as from the Lord Your Bro in the Truth James T White Sanford Colo
