As there are two new branches in the Stake building Meeting Houses we shall need this year $1,500. Labor tithing, which we respe- ctfully ask you to appropriate for our use, and have P.B.O. order sent us to cover same. Praying the Lord to ever bless you. We remain, Your Brethren. approved. Anthony W. Ivins Pres't of Stake. W. Derby Johnson Jr. Stake Tithing Clerk.
