Letter to George Washington Thatcher, 9 March 1897

Salt Lake City, Utah. . 189 Elder George W. Thatcher, Logan. Dear Brother: Your letter of resignation as a member of the board of trustees of the Brigham Young College is received. I thank you for the promptness with which you have complied with my request, and desire to say briefly that your resignation was not asked for the purpose of humiliating you in any sense of the word, nor for the purpose of grati- fying any personal feeling on my part or the part of any of my brethren, but solely for the purpose of subserving the best interests of the College, which it is my duty to jealously guard. I send you my kind regards; and sincerely trust that the Lord will bless you and yours, and preserve you in the truth and bonds of the everlasting covenant, and that you and they may at last be found worthy of an exaltation in his kingdom. Your Brother, Wilford Woodruff

Letter from Benjamin Cluff Jr., 9 March 1897

(DICTATED) President Wilford Woodruff, Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Brother: Perhaps you will recall that you gave your consent for Madam Mountford to give a series of lectures under the aus- pices of the Academy. Her lectures in Provo were quite success- ful. We netted something over Three Hundred Dollars. We are very desirious of obtaining some means for the Academy, to purchase apparatus—something we are very much in need of. It occurred to me some time ago that perhaps you would kindly consent to our having the use of the Tabernacle one night during Conference, in which under the auspices of the Academy Madam Mountford might give one at least of her lectures. I am certain^,^ should you be able to let us have the tabernacle, we could raise a neat little sum for our apparatus department. Awaiting your early reply, I remain Very respectfully, your brother, Benjamin Cluff, Jr. Pres't.
