Salt Lake City President Wilford Woodruff, and Councelors First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints: Dear Brethren: We, the German Saints, again ask you to kindly grant us the privilege of holding a German Meeting during this coming Conference, with our German Saints who come from the different parts of Zion to attend Conference. Many of them never have the privilege of attending a German Meeting, consequently they apreciate the oportunity of meeting with us very highly. As we have no suitable place where to meet we also ask you to kindly permit us the use of the Assembly Hall for this Ppurpose, and we will be pleased to have you set the time for our meeting, so that it will not interfere with any other meetings.

Letter from Elias Smith Kimball, 15 September 1896

Presidents Woodruff, Cannon and Smith. Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Brethren: With your consent I shall be most happy to visit Utah and attend conference and receive new inspiration from the lips of the servants of the Lord, and to attend to some very pressing business affairs that are crowding upon me. My visit will necessarily be a short one, for I shall be anxious to return. Shall I come? I returned on the 13th. inst. from visiting the Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas conferences. This finishes my travels among the conferences for this season. There are now thirteen conferences in the mission. The mission is in a more prosperous and thriving condition than at any time in the past since I have been here. The Elders are now traveling absolutely without purse or scrip as the Lord commands them to do, and are meeting with phenomenal success in reaching the people and holding meetings, baptizing souls, organizing branches and Sunday schools. Within the last six weeks Elders Wakefield and Brown of the South[ Alabama conference held 34 meetings in one week; Elders Stohl and Stahle of the North Carolina conference held fifty meetings in one week, the meetings continuing from 50 minutes to 1 1–2 hours, and they had a number of applications for baptisms the same week; Elders Shumway and Gordon of the South Carolina conference held 42 meetings in one week, baptized ten souls and had a number of applications for baptism besides. These are exceptional cases of course but it shows the spirit the Elders are of.
