Letter from Collins Riley Hakes Jr., 19 February 1897

Wilford Woodruff, Salt Lake City, Dear Brother: The call to hand and contents noted. Will say the same was received with very much pleasure. And in so much as the servants of the living God have in their wisdom saw fit to place such an honor upon as weak a mortal as myself, I can but say that on the day fixed, unless other wise stated will be on hand. Some of the boys desire to leave in April, and if it meets your minds it surely will be all right here, for the sooner the quicker with me. I beg to remain your brother, in the cause of truth, Collins R. Hakes Jr: James M. Horne B.P.

Letter from Ephraim H. Nye, 19 February 1897

President Wilford Woodruff Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Brother: There is a couple living in Sacramento, Members of the Church; who had their Endowments and were Married in the Endowment house: they afterward came out here and the husband has a good position in the R. R. Shops. They are good faithfull Latter-day-Saints; their house has been a home for the Elders for years. The Sister is a most most devout member of the Church. Her health is very poor; she desi^res^ to make a trip to Salt Lake City, and work in the Temple, and after wards return to Sacramento. As there is no Bishop here, to give her a recomend, is there any way by which she can secure the need^-^ ed Recomend to admit her to the Temple? The Branch at Sacramento is not fully organized; it has but a presiding Elder over it; and there are the traveling Elders laboring there. If there is any way that this Sister can be admited to the Temple to work for her dead and gain a blessing for her self, please instruct me. She is said to to be, by the local President and the traveling Elders, worthy of all acceptation. She lives in hopes of being healed, if she can be per- mited to go into the Temple. All is well in the Mission and our prospects are bright for bringing many honest Souls into the fold. Praying that you may live long, Your Brother, E. H. Nye
