Pres[iden]t Geo[rge]. Q. Cannon moved that the brethren present make every possible exertion themselves and among the people to raise the necessary funds to complete this Temple. .... It was represented that there are five large windows needed which will cost $1500.00 each. Bro[ther]s. John R Winder, M[oses] Thatcher, Geo[rge]

On motion a few of the brethren were requested to take the names and amounts which each one present felt to give to the completion of the Temple. $50,000.00 was subscribed at this meeting....
