Mr. William D. Sutton,
Park City, Utah.

My dear Mr. Sutton:-

Your letter of November 20th, commendatory of my action
in the Hillstrom case is deeply appreciated, and I trust you will
accept this tardy acknowledgment of the same and my expression of
appreciation of the loyal and patriotic sentiments which you
convey.

It is a source of real satisfaction to find that the law-
abiding people of the state are behind us in our efforts to en-
force the mandates of the courts. I have taken the liberty of
showing your letter to the members of the State Board of Par-
dons and they join me in this word of thanks.

With the compliments of the season, I am
Cordially yours,

Governor.
