Scope and Contents

Abraham O. Woodruff, letter to JFS, 4 June 1902, 4 pp., says: "I feel too that the labors of the brethren has not all been of a temporal nature. While doing the contract work for the Burlington R.R. for which they paid us over $ 100,000, notwithstanding saloons were established at each of our camps by people who follow up R.R. work to carry on their business we did not hear of more than three young men entering those places and these people when they discovered that we would not patronize them were forced to pack up their goods and move to more fruitful fields, usually saying: 'The Mormons are the damnest lot of people we ever tried to run a saloon among."
