Letter from Franklin Dewey Richards, 4 September 1896
Salt Lake City, .
President Wilford Woodruff and Counselors Geo. Q. Cannon and Joseph
F. Smith.
Dear Brethren:
About the time that Elder Alonzo E. Hyde departed for Europe,
he called at my office, informed me of his intended departure, and
stated that it had been his habit while previously in London to attend
meetings and speak, and had administered baptism, and he desired to
do what good he could while away. He said it had been suggested that
he call at the President's Office, and get a letter of appointment as
an Elder, and so get missionary rates in traveling; that he had been
over to the President's Office, but they had all left for the night,
and that he must go that night, or by the early morning train, and
wanted to get the letter now; said he had been recommended by Brother
Smith to do so. (I understood him to mean President Jos. F. Smith).
I then asked him for his recommend from his Bishop. He replied, "I
am a Bishop's Counselor, and have a right to sign recommends in the
absence of the Bishop, myself." I thereupon issued a regular letter
of appointment to him as a missionary, bearing date of that day.
As ever,
Your fellow laborer in Zion,
F. D. Richards.

Dear Bretheren!
Enclosed please find Tithing
Account, from the Chicago Branch, and we are
very thankful for the prevelige you granted us to
use of the tithing to help defrey expenses of the
Branch, it is a great help to us. The Branch
numbers now 42 souls, and good prospects for
more coming in the church, so we are incouraged
in our labor, and feel to go on in the good work
of our Father. We are making friends all the time
and we are holding outdoors meeting every Sunday
also in houses. We have a Sunday school organized
but only few childeren can attend on account of the
scattered condition of the Saints. We are trying to
rent a larger hall, here, as also in Geneva, a
town 30 miles from here; where we think we can
see an opening for a good work. As a rule the
