Letter from J. E. Scattergood, 10 May 1898

Hon. Wilford Woodruff, Zion's Sav. Bank & Tr. Co., 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 O K. 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.

Letter from Robert McQuarrie and Louis Frederick Moench to the First Presidency, 10 May 1898

Ogden, Utah. . To the Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. 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
