Letter from William Lucius McAlister, 18 August 1897

LOGAN, UTAH, President Wilford Woodruff. Salt Lake City; Utah. Dear Brother, No doubt you have received my answer to your letter of 13th inst, by now, without our bishop having indrosed it; and I hope you will pardon me for being so forgetful. As you know by now; I am well satified with the call to the Eastern States to preach the Gospel. I will have all arrangements made to leave Salt Lake City September 18th, 1897. Your brother in the Gospel, Will L. McAlister. P.S. I did not want to put you to so much trouble in having you sent my other letter back and that is why I have written this letter. Bro Woodruff I heartily endorse this young man, & feel that he will do honor to the cause of truth. B M. Lewis Bp. Logan 1st wd
