![Letters to William Atkin [microform]: 1889-1894](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Frail.huntington.org%2FIIIF3%2FImage%2F22APN4DH4FKS%2Ffull%2F%5E360%2C%2F0%2Fdefault.jpg&w=750&q=75)
Manuscripts
Microfilm of 30 letters sent by Wilford Woodruff to William Atkin between March 18, 1889, and February 12, 1894. The majority of them are on letterhead of the President's Office of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City (many of the letters are typed, but others appear to be in the handwriting of Lewis Allen). In addition to family news and various church notes, the letters include references to "getting a state government for Utah" and the prospects of Utah statehood, the release of George Q. Cannon and Woodruff from prison on polygamy charges, Woodruff and Cannon's mission trip to California, local elections, flooding of the Rio Virgin, and the "water question" for the St. George Temple. There is also one letter addressed to J.D.T. McAllister (January 7, 1892).
