Letter from Charles B. Fischer, 12 November 1896

Dresden, . Messrd the Presidency of the Church of L.D.S. Salt. Lake City Utah. Dear Sirs, I bet to ask your pardon for not having answered you any sooner to your kind attention of Sept 2nd. Please accept my thanks for this and the various books sent. I have been perusing the latter with great interest and shall be always obliged for further information regarding your social institution. Kindly excuse if I trouble you again with some questions on this regard. I find in your books that there is every possibility with you for farming cooperative farming on the large scale, which would be the only paying one, at least in our parts. Your people it appears is trained for such work and the necessity of irrigation almost forces them, I should think, to engage in such a pursuit. I fully understand the difficulty to convince the anticollective farmer "but it almost" strikes me that certainly you have off and on considered the question. Other religious communities, I only mention the shakers, the Bishop Hill community and various others have done such farming in America and in the 16th and first half of the 17th century we had the Moravian Baptists successfully engaged therein. The question of cooperative farming
