Snowflake Navajo Co Arizona
March 5^th1897.

Pesident Wilford Woodruff.
Salt Lake City Utah.

Dear Sir.
Parden the liberty I take in writing to you. But I
have thought the matter over seriously and have
come to the conclusion that this is the best plan.
We have lived in Arizona since January 16^th 1879
We have lived on a dry hill all that time.
In the first place four or five men of fathers
company drawed for some lots, and it happen-
ed that we got this one. It would have been
a very desirable place if the water had been
brought up on the plateau. But they made
the ditch around the edge of the hill and
left us out high and dry

We have worked hard very hard indeed in this
country to make a home, but we have only a log
room and a smaller room added on, that is all
we have had untill last Summer we had the
walls of a brick house with theree rooms laid
