Letter to Levi Richards, 28 January 1841
London, Elder Levi Richards. Beloved Brother and fellow laborer in the vine- yard of the Lord. It is with pleasure that I appropriate a few momen- ts in conversing with you with my pen. I have just received a letter from Brother Edward Oakey who makes mention of your wishing a few lin- es from me.
