Letter from Charles William Watts, 31 December 1897
President W. Woodruff
S L City
Dear Brother: As you are
aware that D. S. Dorrity of
this, place has been called
to go upon a mission to the
Southern States. I feel it
my duty as a member of
the church to write you
and let you know Bro. Dorrty
financial circumstances. Bro.
Dorrity is obligated for more
than $1350 00/100 to my knowledge.
He is a faithful Latter Day Saint
and too proud and faithful to
intimate that his condition is
as it is. He has a house partly
finished and his family need
his support. He returned from
a mission to the south just
four years ago and the people
in general think that he
should not go for a time
at least
With Great Resp
I am Your Brother
C W Watts
P.S. He leaves here
for S. L City Jan 2, 1897
