Note to Vilate Murray Kimball, 27 January 1841
Dear Sister Kimball your letter to Brother Kimball of Dec 8th has just came to hand & has done us much good yes it was truly cheering to our feelings to hear from you & to learn that the Saints from England had arived safe We have felt great anxiety to know how they got along. We expected they would have many trials to Run through. Yes we have all got to come up thrugh great tribulations in order to have our Robes made white in the Blood of the Lamb, but shall we murmur or complain at those things may God forbid. I had rathr suffer afflictions with the people of God for a season than the farer of the world or treasures of the Earth, that I may overcome & reign with the Saints. I love the Saints they are my people & I am ownly Happy when I am with them or doing the work of God in the vineyard. I am labouring with Elder Kimball in London we are well & happy. give my love to all the Saints from England & America May God Bless you & your children & all the faithful Saints is the prayer of Willford Woodruff
