Letter from William P. Nebeker, 15 March 1897

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH. . President Wilford Woodruff. Dear Brother: If you could give me a letter, addressed to the President of the United States, to the effect, that, if in making Federal appointments for Utah, it is desired to recognize the Pioneer element that settled this country. I would be a suitable person to be thus honored and trusted, I would be grateful, and in the event of receiving an appointment. I should endeavor to discharge my duties in such a manner, as to respect your confidence. I am aware that you have given an endorsement for the special position I desire, but that need not, I suppose, prevent your giving me any general endorsement of which you may deem me worthy to receive. The Judges of the Supreme Court and others, who had given special endorsements, have given me general endorsements, of similar character as the one I would thank you for, if you feel warranted in giving it. Yours in the Gospel, Wm P. Nebeker.

Salt Lake City, . To the first Presidency, Dear Brethren Brother Thomas, janitor of the Tabernacle, continualy objects to my displaying photographs for sale on the wall in front of my stand, and this morning, went for a policeman to compel me to remove them. I have always been accustomed to do so, without objection before It is a very hard matter for me to make a living, under the present circum- stances, and it would entirely prevent my doing so, if I have to remove them If you wish me to do so, I will instantly comply, but I pray you to grant me permission to continue doing as I am, and thus prevent my becoming dependant entirely on public charity for a living Your brother in the Gospel John R. Williams
