Letter from Thomas Bassett, 5 January 1898
Pres Wilford Woodruff
Salt Lake City, Utah
Dear Brother:
Elder James M Cook who
has recently returned from a mission to
England states that on the 5th of June last
he paid sixty four and 90/100 ($ 6499) Dollars
to Pres R. S. Wells at Liverpool with instructions
to make same payable to you at Salt L City
for credit of Brother Cook on his tithing
account in the Rexburg second Ward. It
appears that Brother Cook sent the draft
for same to his folks here and they claim
it was forwarded to you from here almost
as soon as received by them.
Since then they have not heard anything
further from it. Would you kindly
let us know if ^it^ has ever been received
by you at your convenience as he is
ready to settle his tithing for 1897
With kindest regards I remain
Your Bro etc. Thomas E Bassett, Clerk.
