W Woodruff spoke one hour {in the power of God} I took up the subject of the office of Administration of Angels & the office of the Holy Ghost I testified that the Lord did not send Angels to Men on Earth ownly for the purpose of Performing a work which Men could not do while Holy Ghost should be with Every Saint of God to reveal to him his duty hourerly

Letter from Joseph Francis Thomas, 20 October 1896

MANASSA, COLO., Pres't Wilford Woodruff. Dear Brother; I had expected to be able to start from here on a mission to the Northern States on last Saturday, (17th). Two or three days previous to that date however, I was subpoenaed to appear before the District Court (as a witness) on Dec 2nd 1896. I have tried to induce the attorneys in the case to arrange to take my deposition, but so far without success. I shall make another effort, but seeing that some considirable delay is unavoidable I write you to explain. I consulted Stake Prest. Smith—about writing you immediately after I was summoned—but he thought I need not write you until I found out what the chances were for having my deposition taken—so I postponed it till today Very Truly Your Brother, in the Gospel Joseph F. Thomas
