Letter from Alonzo Pratt Kesler, 15 December 1897
Brooklyn, . 189 Prest. Wilford Woodruff, Salt Lake City, Utah. My dear Brother: With pleasure I hand you herewith our financial report for the past three months. You see we are able to keep our head above water, and we have a very nice office to invite our strangers in to see us, such as news paper reporters ect. Indeed I am happy to say we have a very comfortable conference house. I am prepared to receive our brethern as they come to their fields of labor. We have about 120 Elders in this field and it seems as though we could use that many more to a good advantage Wehave only baptized upwards of 100 people since my time here, but I think that is fairly good when we consider that nearly all of our Elders are new in the field. Our Neophites, what we have are good inteligent people, and we are educating them hiow to pay tithing and live their religion. I have been all through the field twice and have organized Eleven Conferences. Our Elders are full of faith and determined to do their duty. Part of them travel without money. Recently while I was at Boston holding conference I met an old member of our Church who was Baptized by Prest. Young and he has not seen one of our Elders before for 45 Yrs. With love to your self and Coworkers, I remain, with prayers for "Zion's" triumph, Your brother, A P Kesler Very good letter. J. F. S.
