Letter from John William Morgan, 12 December 1887

Salt Lake City, U. T. . Elder John Morgan, Manassa, Conejos Co., Colorado. Dear Brother: Your interesting favor of the 6th inst. has been received. We are gratified to hear from you of the emigration of 131 souls from your mission to San Luis Valley, Utah, Idaho, and Arizona, and to learn that those who have located at San Luis have nearly all found houses to dwell in during the winter, and that most of them will find employment more or less steady. You inform us that they feel very well. We trust that they will continue to increase in good feeling the longer

P.O. BOX B. Salt Lake City, U. T. Elder Brigham Young, Snowflake, Apache Co., Arizona. Dear Brother: We are in receipt of two favors from you, one under date of the 1st and the other the 4th inst. We are very glad to learn that you were so fortunate as to escape the snares of our enemies which had been so well arranged for your capture.

Whitaker, Historian's Office, Dear Brother: Your favor of the 10th inst., stating your circumstances and the need you have of money to settle up your indebtedness, and asking for the remainder of your pay to be given you in cash for this purpose, has been received and considered. I need not say to you how pressed we are in these days for money, there being so many obliga- tions of a new and onerous character that rest upon the President of the Church to discharge, which nothing but cash will meet.

Letter from Alpha Jedde Higgs, 12 December 1887

Salt Lake City, . Prest. Woodruff: Dear Bro, being notified Nov. 16th to prepare to start on a mission to the Southern States by Dec. 13th, '87, I returned a favourable reply, supposing, as was the custom when applica- tion was made, that I would be accorded the privilege of visiting England the second year. Learning, however, that the custom has been stopped for obvious reasons, I would respectfully ask, if it meet with your approval, that my mission be changed to England. I have to offer as a reason for preferring this request that I have a large number of relatives in that country and desire to hunt up genealogies in connection with my labors in dissem- inating the principles of the Gospel. awaiting an early reply, I remain Yours Truly, A. J. Higgs. Bro. G. R. If there be no reason against this asked-for change, please grant it. W. W.
