ficials and they were somewhat informed on
Mormonism. And Mr. Allaimby is authority for the
statement, that the Porte snubed ^the^ Minister by telling
him that the Mormons would be protected as others & had
the same right: The Turks saw the sceme and they
were too smart to be caught. I could not get a copy. When
Mr Riddle saw the nature of it, it made him a little nervous
and he said with a smile: "Well, I guess that is all burried,
is it not? I, of course repyed it was. I saw he was ashamed
of it so I did not press it. And although we can ge it through
the State deparment at Washington, I think it best to leave it
til later on. It ^will^ makes a little history someday. It is very
encouraging right now to know that the Porte has
taken our part even when attacked by our own. Representation.
Upon solicitation I explained our faith to Mr. Riddle. He
listened with attention & interest. Also Consul General
Dickensen gave me a lengthy audience.

Marshall Allaimby loves to speak of his stay in Utah.
He speaks in high terms of our people. He remembers Presidents
Woodruff, Cannon & Smith. Also Dr. Park and others.
He has offered me his servises several times. He also
refers to Mr. Strauss, the coming Minister, as a liberal
minded & fair & just man. Mr. Strauss is a Hebrew
& as such may do us much good. The reply itself from
the Porte I did not see, but Con. Gen. Pringles letter I
saw and it bears out the claim of Mr. Allaimby.

Respectfully
