Letter from John Samuel Beal, 25 August 1895 [LE-15253]

August 25, 1895.

Brother Wilford Woodruff:

I received your letter
and will let you know my circum-
stances at present.

I belong to an irrigation company
which is known as the West Point
Irrigation Company; I being one of the
directors of the company.

This Irrigation Company and Moroni
are in a big dispute over the water,
which will cause a law-suit this fall.
and if we should loose the water my
farm will be of very little value, and
it would be very hard for me to make
a living for I am in quite a large
debt at present.

Therefore I couldent possibly get ready
at such an early date.

John S. Beal.

L. S. Andersen Bp.

I trust the water difficulty will be
settled without recourse to the courts,
and am in favor of his being granted
sufficient time to settle his difficulties am
icably, and get ready to go on his
mission, and when so ready to report. J. F. S.
