Lethbridge, Alta. Prest. Wilford Woodruff Salt Lake City Utah u. s. a. Dear Brother I inclose you bill drafted By Mr. C. F. P. Conybeare with the corrections we have this day made. Now I submit it for your suggestions and further correction after which please return it to the Atty. (Mr Conybeare) and notify me that I may again confer with him if necessery. This Bill for Corporation is copied after the act incorporating the church of England or English church here which appears to be the most liberal and popular here. Mr. Charles A. Magrath will aid in getting this through if returned within one month; Earlier would be prefered as the north west assembly will meet about that time. The general health & spirits of the saints in the Alberta stake are good. We are now just beginning to reap a bountiful harvest. With best wishes to you and the brethren I remain Your Brother in the Gospel Charles Ora Card
