Letter from Anthony Woodward Ivins, 27 May 1898

Colonia Juarez. . Prest. W. Woodruff &. Counsellors. Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Brethren:- I regret to inform you that our steam saw mill known as the Thatcher Mill was entirely destr- oyed, on tuesday night last, by fire. The origen of the fire is not known. The foreman made his usual round before going to bed and all appeared to be as safe as could be desired. About mid- night the mill was discovered in flames and was entirely con- sumed. By hard labor the lumber on hand was saved. The mill gave employment to a good many men and has been a good paying inv- estment. We have a good many logs cut which should be used or they will rot^,^ and have agreed that if it meets your approval the mill should be replaced. This we can do with funds on hand and belonging to the mill company. The stock is held as follows: Trustee in Trust $2500.00, Moses Thatcher $2250.00, W. B. Preston $625.00, Unknown owner $625.00. We have lumber on hand worth $15000.00, other asstets $4000.00, liabilities about $7000.00, sale for the lumber is not ready but we think we can meet all of our liabilities and put in a new mill if it meets with your approval. Please let us know ^your conclusion^ as soon as convenient so that we may know what to do. Your brother, Anthony W. Ivins
