Letter from Aphek Woodruff, b. 1778 and Azubah Hart Woodruff, 25 June 1845
Farmington Dear Son & Daughter Wilford & Phebe Woodruff Days weeks & months have elapsed since your Parents commen- enced looking for a communication from their Children the other side the atlantic, but they looked in vain, they however had the satisfaction at length (th o, a mysterious one,) of hearing secondhanded by the way of sister Betsy that they were in the land of the living & in the enjoyment of health which we were truly glad to learn, yet we were much pugzzled in our minds as to what it could all mean for we knew that Son Wilford had ever paid special attention to addressing his Parents by way of writing & particularly so when at England, but we could not understand why a Letter should not come as direct here as to simsbury & yet we could not feel that he would now pay less attention to his Parents than formerly under their present peculiar cirscumstances, but, we had finally concluded to write you without waiting longer to hear from you—when about three days since your father brought in a Letter saying, he believed it was from Webster, I took it very anxiously & said, are you sure it is from Nauvoo—he thought so.
