this moment came to hand & I haste to answer
it. I rejoice to hear of the progress of the work of
the Lord in Staffordshire & in all other parts

Number of letters since you left me all give
good account of the progress of the work. "O pratt
says Nov 11th the work is progressing though this country
We are preaching in the streets large congregations
& good attention, there is near 40 in Glasgow
&c." "A letter came to hand from preston directed to
you which I will enclose in this sheet with no
name to it" "Elder Thomas Clark Frooms Hill says
Nov 13th the work is rolling on here Saints strong in the
faith & growing in grace & was one Baptizing daily
&c" Elder Daniel Browett says Nov 14th the work is rolling
on here the Lord has opened a good door in
Chettenham with out the assistance of Elder or
Priest. & Elder Glover & myself are going into
it. I think we can all clearly see by this time
that it was far better for Elder Glover to do as he
has done than to have stayed in the potteries"
Edward Oakey Herefordshire says Nov 16th We are happy
in the Lord his work is rolling on here we have Baptized
31 in the Branch at the Moorend since we say^w^ you
