Letter from Thomas Edwin Ricks, 7 July 1896
President Wilford Woodruff
Salt Lake City
Dear Brother,
The enclosed from
Presiding Authorities from Lima Branch
Montana we send you for perusal
and call your attention to their request
for $250 half cost of a house they
speak of as being suitable to meet in.
We do not know anything about the
suitability of the house but apparently
from Brother Hopkins letter you may have
heard more fully from Elders Stevenson
and Cawley: I will say that the branch
was organized Devember 20 last and no
yet very little tithing has come to us.
We will be pleased to hear your mind
on the subject when convenient
Your Brother in the Gospel
T E. Ricks
