Please forgive me when I say I firmly
believe that Pres. Woodruff will never
give his consent, that we unitedly make
an image in the likeness of any thing
in heaven or on earth, to commemorate
the success of Pres. Young and his brethren
while he was filling his position here
Pres. Young was a fit temple
for that Spirit which gave him success.
We can love him as we ever have done
without this image, which would be
cap sheaf; a head of Isreal of old, who
never made an image for this purpose.
Will not the Lord withdraw
His spirit from us, as he did from Solomon
when he entered into Idolatry; then all
will be vanity and vexation of spirit
when we are left alone with our enemies
No we can not endure this:
rather let us cling to the iron rod which
teaches us, that God is the same yesterday
and forever. Let us keep his commands
more perfectly is the daily prayer of
your aged sister in the gospel.

Wishing you, a happy New Year.
