Letter from Ezra Foss Richards, 11 February 1897
Prest. Wilford Woodruff Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Brother: We are in receipt of letter dated Jany. 5th reporting five more Elders for this mission. They have undoubtedly arrived Sydney ere this. We can use them and also others. Regarding the £197.0.0 to come next mail, oweing to the ill-health of Elder Moroni Lazenby it was deemed wise to release him to return home by the March boat. Elder C. H. Embley was also released to accompany him. The former has been here something over two and the latter some- thing over three years. I have arranged with Bro. Hardy to use £50.0.0 of the above amount for their return fares. And it is desired to release four more Elders at our April Conference in the Wairarapa which according to usual allotments would make in all £150.0.0 more, which we would be very pleased to receive not later than April. It will be seen that our report is not made out as suggested by letter dated Jany. 4th Viz. giving births and deaths of males and females separately. And 'tis now too late to change or cor-

Letter to the public, 11 February 1897
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: We have known and had more or less business rela- tions with Mr. Hoyt Sherman since his residence in Utah, some ten years. It is a pleasure to us alway[s] [t]o certify to his strict integ- rity, high standing and good busines[s] [at]tainments. His connection with the railway interests of the State. Also as receiver of the U. S. Land Office [and] as a member of the Utah Com- mission has given him a very wide acquaintance with our people, the existing conditions and public affairs [g]enerally. His ability and competency [to] f[il]l any of the federal positions connected with Utah is beyond questio[n] [and] [h]is appointment to any such position would be a credit to the ad[mini]stration. We are respe[ctf]ully, Wilford Woodruff Geo. Q. Cannon Jos. F. Smith John Henry Smith
