Paris, Idaho, President W. Woodruff Dear Bro. Bro. John Beck of this Stake was complained of, I think about a year ago for cultivating the aquain- tance of the second wife of a man living in Salt Lake City. We labored with him and he promised to avoid giving further offence, but he shortly afterwards moved to the Snake River country and we never learned whether he kept his promise to us or not. He has now applied for a note of standing from the Ward here to the Ward where he now lives, and we wish to know if he satisfied the husband, as he promised us he would do, or whether there is any objection to Bro. Beck receiving a certificate of standing. The complaint against Bro. Beck came from the husband to us through your office Your Bro. Wm Budge

Price Utah Hon- Wilford Woodruff President of the Church of J.C.L.D.S. Salt Lake City May Dear Sir and Brother = Please pardon me for this letter - There is a matter of so much importance here that I can not refrain from ^writing^ you as to same. A Law Sute has just been in the Courts here Against our Bishop E. S. Horsley his first Council H. G. Mathis A. W. Horsley J. M. Whitmore and A. Ballinger. and decided in their favor but from the evidence given in the trial and other information I am fully convinced in my own mind that our Bishop is guilty of dishonesty and other dishonorable actions regardless of the decision of the Judge who has been bribed by Ballinger as they were seen dead drunk and in places a gentleman would not be seen in in Salt Lake City jusst ^a day or two^ before the Case came up for trial= If our Bishop is not guilty of any dishonesty the mere fact alone of him being so familier led around and associated with Ballinger is sufficient and abundent truth of his total unfitness for the high office he holds
