Dear Brethren:
Enclosed
you will find a financial statement of the present con-
dition of the Weber Stake Academy, and the amount
of means now required to liquidate ^its^ present indebtedness.
The executive committee has instructed us to forward you
this statement, that you might know our true condition,
and render us such aid as you in your judgment may
think proper. Many of those holding our notes are so financially
situated that they must have their interest, and if they cannot
get that, they must have the principal. The New
England Loan and Trust Co. threaten us with foreclosure
of the mortgage on the building as one thousand ($1000)
of their principal was due on the 1st of Apr. last, together
with the interest on five thousand dollars ($5000) for one year.
The Weber Board of Education has no means at its command
now to meet these obligations, and unless something is done
forthwith the company will undoubtedly carry its threats
into execution which will not only force immediate pay-
ment of this debt, but also the whole amount due

Salt Lake City, Utah.
Dear Sir:—
Find enclosed a proof of the biographical sketch we propose to
use in the second (and last) volume of our Album of Prominent Bankers of Am-
erica. Have the kindness to read the matter over carefully and note any
corrections or changes which you think should be made. If the sketch as
it stands meets with your approval, mark it OK. In any event please re-
turn it to us as soon as possible.
As we intend to print only so many copies of the book as we can
be sure of selling, you are particularly requested to indicate whether you
will want more than one copy ofor yourself and one for the bank. To you,
as a contributer to the book's contents, the price will be ten dollars,
per copy, although the regular price is twenty-five dollars. Like the
first volume (copy of index enclosed) the book we now are compiling will con
tain about five hundred portraits with appropriate sketches; these will
occupy over five hundred quarto pages, with gilt edges, bound in seal-
skin, deeply embossed and lettered in gold. The artistic merit, and actu
al usefulness of the work for purposes of reference, identification, etc.,
will far exceed in value the amount we ask which, in fact, is just about
what the books will cost us. As your action in the matter is very impor-
tant to us, we hope to have a definite reply.
With good wishes, we are
Yours very truly,
The Financier Company.
J. E. Scattergood.

willing to try to do my
