and to decide which, under the circumstances, is the
better line for the Saints to come by.
Respecting the newspapers of which you make mention, and from which you send us
extracts, you will be better able to decide after
seeing Maude, who can give you the information
necessary concerning them and the power of our
friends to reach them. His presence in Washington
will enable you to understand the situation much
better than it would be possible to learn by letter
or by telegram, as he can give you a knowledge
of the influences which are at work and the ability
of our friends to reach papers and persons that may
be necessary to make our business successful.
I trust you have been able to see him and that
your interviews have been satisfactory. We received
a dispatch from him after he reached Washington,
in which he informed us that he had not yet
met with you.
