I endeavored to keep the matter on a strictly legal and equitable basis, making a plea for a right of religious assembly for then over 450 members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on the reservation. The final approval for a site for a meeting house, east of First Mesa on the road to Keams Canyon, was granted on that occasion. The opposition was tenacious. They secured the assistance of one of the attorneys from the Native American Rights Fund to exhaust their appeal rights. However, he lost at the Area level and at the Secretarial level. In due time the structure was completed and dedicated. Subsequently, John received several letters regarding this matter which meant a great deal to him. On February 2,lYn.Dale T. T i e y , Mission President of the L.D.S Southwest Indian Mission, wrote: 1 just wanted to write and express sincere gratitude for the tremendous effort you put forth in helping us get the site. We know that without your influence and help, along with the help of the Lord, it would have been impossible. We hope you didn't suffer too many scars. We will await further direction from you. We wish you every choice blessing. O n February 9, Spencer W.

We know of your constant efforts and appreciate your devoted sewice.
