Letter from Orson Smith, 9 June 1897

Prest Wilford Woodruff Dear Bro the letter of Bro J J Jushua is at hand. I can only say the poor fellow is to be pittied. He is not of a sound mind and it would not matter where he was he could not provide for himself. I think he has been treated as well well as the circumstances of his case would warrant. His wife is a fine woman but she could not live with him longer, and they have been apart for many years, He living in Newton and she in Smithfield. They have one son in the Asylum in Provo now The most that can be done for him is to care for him as best we can, and take little notice of his rambelings. With kind regards Your Bro Orson Smith
