Provo President Woodruff and Counclors Salt Lake City Dear Brethren Your letter of the 10 came to hand yesterday, I thank you for your advice, I shall endeavor to put it into practice. I am very sorry if you got the idea from my letter that I was wanting ^asking for^ aid, that was fartherest from my mind, I was undecided as to which course to persue and was asking your counsel If my letter was worded in a way to convey that Idea ^the idea that I wanted assistance^ I desire to correct it, It was counsel that I desired If you had said stick to painting my faith
Letter from Franklin Dewey Richards, 12 August 1896
Salt Lake City, . To Presidents Wilford Woodruff, Geo. Q. Cannon and Jos. F. Smith. Beloved Brethren in the Lord:- In reply to your letter of June 19th, 1896, covering a Resolution of the High Council of Salt Lake Stake, concerning which an action of the Apostles was desired, I desire to state, that on Tuesday the 7th day of July, the Apostles were together in Council (except Moses Thatcher, A. H. Lund and A. H. Cannon), and had the Resolution of the High Council under consideration. After mature deliberation, it was moved by Elder Brigham Young, and seconded by Elder John H. Smith, and unanimously voted, that, "This Council does not recognize the right of one of our number on his own volition to go into any organized Stake of Zion, and abrogate and set aside a standing regulation established by the President of the Church, and endorsed by the High Council of that Stake". Most respectfully, [blank], President. F. D. Richards, Secretary.
