We make this appeal to you in all sincerity, after most serious thought on storing away grain while it is within our reach. We wish is where possible the subject might be agitated in private until every Mother and Daughter should feel the necessity of immediate action.
It is the express wish of Pres. Young that all sisters in all settlements set out to work with a will , and in energy become true Latter Day Saints and gather up grain and store it away against the day of want.
We the Sisters of Mt. Pleasant have met in council and have thought it best to ascertain what the Sisters can aid us in this laudable undertaking.
We have also thought that at the very least each sister or mother might help us to 1 bushel of wheat.
We also wish to be distinctly understood that every sister consult her husband and do nothing without his sanction or approval.
We also wish it to be known that all wheat donated to us at this time be stored away in a save place and kept sacred against the day of want.
The teachers going round will take the names of those who are willing to donate, and the amount donated with their names shall be entered in with the records of the Society. Let it be understood that when we receive the names of the donors we will send round teams in the different wards to collect.
May the Lord bless those who are desirous to assist us in our efforts to do good, and may we be wise as Joseph in Egypt and as successful.
God grant that not one honest heart may falter.
