Letter from James Edward Talmage, 30 October 1896

Pres. Wilford Woodruff, City; Dear Brother: The small metallic image of human bust received from your office by the hand of Elder George F. Gibbs has been submitted to tests as to composition with the following results: 1. The image is composed of ZINC, with a small trace of IRON, the latter as an impurity. 2. Silver is not present even in traces. I have been unable thus far to compare the object as a work of art with other pieces of known antiquity; and I cannot therefore, express any well founded opinion as to comparative age. In accordance with the suggestion of Bro. Gigbbs, the specimen will be held at the Deseret Museum subject to your order. Respectfully yours, J. E. Talmage.
