Letter to George Albert Smith, 18 June 1844
R. Oak
Elder Smith,
I have wrote anothr Letter to Mrs. Woodruff
which I send By Br Dunn I have put some money in
it for the Times & Seasons & a little for herself I wish you
would tie the letter on to the Bundle that I put in your
trunk I sold Mr Cooper my other Times & Seasons for five
Dollars.
I want a favor of you when you get whae Br
H Brown lives I want you to get some odd No of the
Old Messenger & advocate that he has on hand, get the
11 & 12 No's of the 2nd vol, and as many numbers of the third 3rd vol
as you can get. I have got all the first vol & to the 10th of the 2nd
but lack most all of the 3rd vol & as I dont know the odd No
lacking of the 3rd vol if you should make out the whole of
the 3rd vol it would not do any hurt & I will make it right with
Br Brown
W. Woodruff
Br Smith I am now in Detroit, have Been to the
post Office & not one letter for any body. I have Been
to see the man that Br Phelps sent the letter to about
the clocks He said he would go down to the warehouse
& see about it. Said the Box of clocks was shiped on
& supposed evry thing was sent, it was Nothing to him
asked nothing for storage, had paid several postage on letters
on the subject & would still see to it.
Their is no meeting to night in Detroit
could not get a Roof room. Their is no boat in, that is the
opposition is not in & ^if^ they dont come I shall have to pay full fare
ie $3 Deck, $7 cabins this will be about my luck the opposition
has broake dow[n] & it is enough to break anything down for me to wa[n]t
a passage. I dont expect to go out to night at all.
good By May the Lord Bless you
W. Woodruff
