This letter was written by President Wilford
Woodruff to accompany a jubilee gift to King Oscar
II and the Queen of Sweden, from Swedes and Nor-
wegians in Utah. I brought the letter to Stock-
holm, together with the gift referred to, a Book
of Mormon in Deluxe binding and deposited in a
box of Utah Onyx. But on my arrival in Stockholm
a letter from the First Presidency instructed me
to return this letter and instead, present one
signed by the President, Wilford Woodruff, and his
counselors. This was done. The letter from the
First Presidency was printed in full in the offi-
cial report of proceedings at the Jubilee.
