Show George F. Goodwin | Henry V. Van Pelt <br> Law Offices of Goodwin and Van Pelt <br> McCornick Block <br><br> Salt Lake City, Utah, <br> Oct. 12, 1903. <br><br> Dr. Sheldon Jackson, <br> Department of Interior, <br> Bureau of Education, <br> Washington, D. C. <br><br> My dear sir: <br> Your letter of Oct. 1st, inclosing check of $126.00, covering a contribution of $93.00 from the Christian Endeavor Society, of Oil City, Pa., and $33.00 raised at Mr. Emerson's Summer Resort on the coast of Maine is duly received. <br> Plans are being perfected by the architect for the erection of the Chapel and it is probable that contracts for the erection of the building will be let at once. I do not remember that it has been definitely decided to call the chapel the "Gunton Memorial Chapel" or the "Temple Memorial Chapel". The board will not wish to decide this matter until it has learned the wishes of yourself and Mrs. Jackson. <br><br> Very truly yours, <br> Henry V. Van Pelt* <br> Treasurer. <br><br><br> * handwritten in the original typed document <br><br> |
