President Wilford Woodruff, Box B., Salt Lake City. My Dear Brother: For some time past Prof. Widtsoe of this College has been engaged in the preparation of a con- cordance of the Doctrine and Covenants. I learned in conversation with him, that his work was now near- ly completed; that it has been a work of love prompted by a necessity which he felt for such a reference in the work pertaining to his Elders' Quorum in the pres- idency of which he is a Counsellor.
