Salt Lake City, Utah,

Friday, April 8th, 1927.

Gave attention to the Presidency’s mail.

At 11:00 A.M. attended Board meeting of the Knight Sugar Company.

. . .

Brother Roberts called and said he would like a six months vacation or even more, that he would like to remain in New York and write a book, a good part of it to be devoted to evidences regarding the divinity of the Book of Mormon. He wishes to visit the Smithsonion Institute and other public places where he could gather information, and feels sure it would be of value to the Church. The Presidency approved of this and of his hiring a stenographer to assist him.
