Letter from John Whittaker Taylor, 30 June 1897

Pres. Wilford Woodruff, Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Brother: Having changed my address you will please forward all mail to me as above. We have a baptism at Overland tomorrow, and I am happy to report that we have nine applications for the same, and a number of promising prospects. We have baptized 43 person during the past six months. Elder W. C. Clive met with quite a serious bicycle accident about four weeks ago, which has di[s]abled him for about a month forom performing any missionary labor, but is now al- most well again and will go into the missionary field next week. The reports from all the ELders are to the effect that they are holding meetings, and that they are treated kindly by the peopie. We are making a special effort to sell our church works as we find that the people will read a book that they pay for, whereas if it is given to them they are liable to lay it aside and not read it.
