1868 to the bishops and aud presidents dents of wards wands and settlements throughout the territory of utah dear Br brethren ethrem the phe establishment of silk bilk producing cooperative operative co societies in all the settlements in utah is the particular wish of our leaders president B young has set a noble example pointing to the introduction of this beautiful light and profitable industry among the people of utah at once by importing mulberry seeds from the continent of europe by planting many acres with trees for the purpose of feeding the silkworm by building an extensive and by en engaging aging in the business of producing bilg slig silk k it ia is very necess aryan yand d extremely to our advantage that we organize at once in all the wards in the settlements of the territory that valuable time ma may not be lost the duty of assisting to bring to pass this greatly to be desired combination has been placed upon you your r humble servant and his greatest wish now is to see it at once pe performed med if possible in every settlement m ent which can be done by the aid of the bishops and presidents it would doubtless be interesting to hear bear lectures on the subject and see exhibited specimens of raw and manufactured silks previous to taking effective steps in the business but to wait for visits from me would retard greatly our operations and be a serious pecuniary loss to the community muril ty if the bishops or presidents would organize operative cooperative co silk slik sode sose ties in their wards or districts as soon as possible and make me aware of the fact that it may be duly entered upon the pages of hir hig history tory tony the introduction of ahw this profitable industry would be greatly facilitated the first duty of the societies will be to procure mulberry cuttings to be in readiness for early spring planting that in 1870 greater or less quantities of silk may be produced in every settlement ett lement in utah the forming of operative cooperative co societies in every district and ward and the faithful carrying out of the purpose combination will widely circulate practical information upon silk cult culture and private individuals will soon see it to their interest and to the interest of their families to devote a little corner of their possessions to the production of food for the silk worm I 1 earnestly solicit the influence and kindly feelings of the presidents oi ol the people to aid me in forming societies in their districts and wards at once remember that the first step to be taken is to get the trees and when food for the worm worms is ready the tile p proper ra er information for their feeding and management will be forthcoming write to me for information G D WATT |
