Elder Woodruff
Dear Brother
Your letter of date
Febr 26th I recieved about two hours ago by the
hand of Brother Snow. I was glad to hear from
you and learn that you and yours are all weell I
was expecting to write a letter to you tomorrow Sister
Ells told me to day that Br A Fielding was a
going to start this week for England and thought
there would be a good oportunity to send a but I
did not expect to have to reply to one from
you which I am glad to have the privilege to do.
I will say here that I have recieved all the letters
you sent me or at least I have receved 3 the
one with the $10 note came safe to hand. I done
as you requested me with the enclosed letters and
money—your taxes have all been paid punctually
and reciepts taken which I have in my possession
You say "tell me all about every thing you can think of
that I want to hear about"— and make some enquiries
about your gadin & house &c the gardin is under
good culivation it is true some of the fence had
fallen down but I hope you would not indulge the
thought I would let it remain so and let
the pigs destroy the trees and other things the fact
that I have and interest at stake should be an
evedence to you that I would keep the fence secure
from such intruders I would here remark that
I am improving all the garden as Elder Page
did not want any of it I also improve a half
acre of my lot the trees in the garden are all
groing finely we shall have peaches and cherries
strawberies Raspburies and goose buries and a most
every thing else I put on a considerabe manure
