It was the sense ofthe Council that such a stake be created. The brethren who may be appointed to effecr this organization will conferwith you in the near future relative to the details of this proposed organization and the time when the srake will be created. Needless to say, this matrer should be given no publicity until the General Authority meets with you and attends to the division.'
