Letter from Thomas Edwin Ricks and Others, 8 March 1898
Pres Wilford Woodruff
Salt Lake City Utah
Dear Brother
We quote the following
extract from a letter from Bp. Wm. B. Preston to us
under date of Mar 1st
"We beg to inform you that in the future we
can not allow the Tithing Department to be charged
with the expense of buggy for Pres. Ricks, as also
the feed and care of horses for him. These items
must be eliminated from the amount of 1898 unless
permission is given in writing by the First
Presidency"
A word of explanation as to what we have been
doing in this particular might not be out of place
We have on hand a large two [axled] buggy that
was furnished for our use a few years ago under
the direction of Bp Preston. We also have a buggy
harness here belonging to the Tithing Department
Bro Ricks has furnished his own team gratuitously,
but the expenses of feed, repairs, horshoeing etc have
been charged to the general expense account of our

Dear Brother
I have received the
notification of my being called
as a missionary to the southern
states. And feel in duty bound
to respond to the same.
Although it will be difficult for
me to raise the means necessary
for my expences and leave my
family in proper condition in
so short a time I made a trip
with my family to S. L. City
last summer to do our work
Letter from John Peterson, 8 March 1898
To the Presidency of the Church
of Jesus Christ of L. D. Saints
Dear Brethren,
Being somewhat reluctant in
writing to your Honorable Body upon
this topic on which I am about to
do, I assure you that my heart is
humble, and desire that you will not
think that by penning these few lines
that I do it with malice or hatered
but simply wish to state a few facts
as the exists here in this part of Lord's
Vinyard.
There have existed and still exists
some trouble here in Castle Dale for
some length of time, nearly a year.
