Letter from Perry F. Clark, 7 August 1896
24 18 Inft Hon W. Woodruff, Dear sir: I have the honor to write you a few words, As a member of the Church of Jesus of Christ of Latter Day Saints I wish to ask you if the Church recognizes the Plurality of wives in it colonies of Mexico.
Letter from Franklin Dewey Richards, 7 August 1896
Salt Lake City, . To The First Presidency: Dear Brethren: The propositions of L. A. Wilson in reference to the recording of genealogies and work performed by individuals in behalf of the dead, have been duly considered by the Church Historian and his assistants and by a majority of the Directors of The Genealogical Society, and their unanimous decision is, that it is inexpedient to entrust a work of such magnitude and importance as that proposed, to one person or to any private agency. n^N^or does it appear from the docu- ments submitted that the evils complained of would be remedied by the scheme proposed. It would seem more in keeping with the order of the Church and of Temple work to place this matter under the supervision of the Temple Recorders and Presidents. Very respectfully, F. D. Richards. Church Historian, and President of the Genealogical Society of Utah
Letter from George Hopkin Eyre, 7 August 1896
Minersville President Wilford Woodruff Dear Brother As you are aware I was asked the question a short time ago. If I could consistantly fill a mission I wrote & told you my circumstancis and—was then told by you to report whenevever my affairs— would admit of my going without Bringing Suffering upon my family. Since that time the ward has promised to raise the necessaray means to send me & to Give my family the care they may need. I theirfore feel all is working right and I will be at your disposal in October next.
