23rd [FIGURES] I recieved my trunk that was sent
me from Hanley. In it I recieved three letters
one from John Tailor, one from Willard Richards
one from Alfred Cordon. Elder Taylor informed
me of his Baptizing 17 persons in Liverpool. Elder
Richards wished me to enquire of the Lord his

will concerning Brother & Sister Richards for they ware
in deep affliction. Elder Cordon informed me that
Elder Theadore Turley was taken with a warrent & cast
into Gaoal [gaol] by the instrumentality of John Jones. A man
took him from Birmingham because of a certain debt which
was contracted 15 years ago before he left England which
he supposed was wholly settled but it is the work of the
devil to put him in prision to stop his preaching, but
God will yet turn this work for good & if it is stoped
in one place it will burst out in another place
may God open the prision Door & soon let Elder
Turley free.

I preached at Standly Hill &
Baptized 12 persons one of which was a preacher, the
Lord is Doing a great work here their will have to
be some triming Done by & by spent the night
at the Hill farm {Distance of the day} 4 miles
