To His Excelency
The Governor of Utah

Esteemed Sir;

Across the mountains and the desert we send you loyal greeting
Well done; good and faithful servant of the people. In
standing firm as the rock of Gibralter against threats, abuse
and persuasion and doing your duty in ordering the execution
of a cruel murderer who was prominent in a movement which is
anaAmerican; undemocratic inhuman and unjust; you showed
yourself to be a man eminently worthy of the peoples trust
and of the high honor which they conferred upon you in electing
you there chief executive.

Ira Stephenson
County Commissioner
