Letter from James Ephraim Steele, 17 July 1896
Iona, Idaho,
Presedent Wilford Woodruff,
Salt Lake City Ut
Dear Bro,
We enclose a letter from some
of the peoples of the Moreland Ward
Bingham Stake, asking that Bp H.P.
Christenson be released from going
on a Mission as they are needing
his watch care as stated in thair
letter enclosed. We think it would
be well for the Bp to Stay at least
one year befor going, as things
has taken a very sudden change
with thair Canal. (Knon as the people
Canal) and BP Christenson Knows
the situation, better then any other
man. And can help to adjust the
situation betterf, rom the fact of his position
as Bp. Would kindly refer you to Bro
B. Cluff Jr Provo who has been President
of the Canal. And knows Chrstensen.
Your Brethren
