A.O. Smoot letters, 1866-1872.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/77553999

One letter written from the Salt Lake City Mayor's Office, from Abraham O. Smoot to Brigham Young. Smoot informs President Young that despite being nominated for Mayor of Salt Lake City, he prefers to decline. He has already served for 9 years in that capacity. Also, a letter from Margaret T. Smoot, one of Abraham O. Smoot's wives, to an undetermined person. The letter is four pages long, with Margaret's signature following the first three pages. The last page looks like a new letter, and is addressed to Margaret, but the signature has faded. It looks as though the first three pages may be the conclusion to another letter as it does not contain a heading or greeting.
