Letter from Canute Peterson, Henry Beal and John Bray Maiben to the First Presidency, 27 September 1897

[end of sideways text] Ephraim, Sanpete Co, Utah. September 27th 1897. Presidents Wilford Woodruff, George Q. Cannon and Joseph F. Smith.

We have had this matter in consideration for some time past and have conversed freely with the Bishops, and leading brethren, with a view of ascertaining their feelings upon the subject, and we have the assurance that the funds necessary for its erection can be raised by the Voluntary Contributions of the Saints, more particularly from brethren who have surplus means, we also believe we can secure an eligible and suitable site on favorable terms; however, we do not wish to take any action in the matter, without your full sanction and approval. On account of the favorable conditions that we obtain, in added value to our Stock, Sheep, Wool
