Letter from James B. Staker, 31 October 1891
Prest W. Woodruff
Salt Lake City
Dear Brother:
Your communication bearing
date of Sept 22nd is to hand.
In answer to the same
will say: I regret very much
that your call comes a second
time and finds me unprepared
to go. I have been somewhat
unfortunate during the last year
and my affairs are now in no
better shape, but a little worse than
what they were one year ago.
Being in considerable debt and
in every way unprepared
to break of and leave I hope
you will have me excused yet
for a little time. I do not desire

Circular to the Officers and Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 31 October 1891
Salt Lake City, .
TO THE OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH OF
JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS:
Dear Brethren and Sisters.—Permit us to
draw your attention to the accompanying Circular of
The Deseret News Company. Its suggestions
and requests meet with our unqualified approval.
It would afford us much pleasure to learn of its
increasing circulation, and that it finds a place in the
home of every Latter-day Saint. The Desert
News is the journal through which the Authorities
of the Church, when they have aught to say to the
Saints in this way, communicate their views and wishes;
and, occupying this position, it should be read by all the
officers and members of the Church who desire to keep
themselves advised, as all should, of the instructions
and counsels of the First Presidency and their asso-
ciates.
With kindest regards, we remain,
Your Brethren,
Wilford Woodruff

Letter to David Moore, 31 October 1891
Salt Lake City, .
Bishop David Moore
Mound Fort.
Dear Brother:
You will doubtless remember that at the General Priesthood
meeting held in the Eighteenth Ward Chapel, on Wednesday, the 7th inst., the
question of raising the necessary funds to complete the Salt Lake Temple was
considered, and the early completion of that building became the subject of inter-
esting remarks by several of those present. It having been ascertained that it
would require not less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars to finish the edifice,
it was suggested that a certain number of brethren should each give a stated sum
sufficient to meet this amount. The sense of the meeting, however, expressed by
unanimous vote, was that the subscription should be general, leaving each person
at liberty to give as large a sum as he pleased, and those of moderate means
such an amount as they could afford.
In calling your attention to this action of the Priesthood meeting, we
desire to suggest that the present is an opportune time to carry this proposition
into practical effect; and we trust that you will reflect the spirit and feeling of
the meeting in presenting this matter to the members of your Ward, as it is
exceedingly desirable that the Saints should be enabled to fully appreciate the
importance of making a last strong effort to finish this Temple, to whose
dedication we so longingly look forward.
We are, with kindest regards,
Wilford Woodruff
