Papeete Tahiti To the First Presidency Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Brethren: We have been work- ing on Tahiti for one month back. The elders are making an effort to work among the people with out "purse or script". Thus far they have received very kind treatment. This course con't be followed here very successfully so long as the government does not interfere and I apprehend little trouble from that source so long as we attend wisely to our duties. So far as I am able to deter- mine we are making a good impression among the natives
