Description June-September 1902; Blair, George E., to Nellie Thatcher Blair. Blair, still in New York City, is arranging for scenery, costumes, etc., for the play. Writes on June 8, their wedding anniversary, concerned over Nellie's poor health and his father-in-law's illness. Feels the play and scenery are great. Says he has received no aid or financial backing from Utah people and they expect him to raise all the funds, etc. The Elders here [New York] think it will be the means of bringing thousands to the light, and removing of prejudice. Actors, scenery, and costumes are leaving for Utah. Has signed a ballet master. The atmosphere of the entire play will be Aztec so thoroughly that people will wonder where it came from. Feels the Lord is opening up the way. Returns home and writes to Nellie in Logan while he works on the play. Their children are to be in one scene
