St. John, Kansas. President Wilford Woodruff and Counselors, Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Brethren! Refering to the sickness of Elder John J. Gallicher, who has been laboring in Texas, we beg to say, that upon receipt of your favor of March 1st, arrangements were made for him to come to this place, where he arrived on the 12th. upon investigation we find that there is no cause for serious alarm, we are of opinion that the supposed heart trouble is due to dyspeptic influences, and will soon be remedied; But as our brother thinks it is heart-disease, we are convinced that it is better to release and let him return home,; which we have done today. Your Brother. Wm. T. Jack
