crossed the
to our office At Stanley buildings Bath st
And As this was the last day I was
to spend on shore before going on board of the

of my affairs in some way An event I have
found hard to Accomplish As Elders

me in the settelment of mine And what
they should have done has been put off
untill the last minute which has made it
vary hard upon me As I have had to pull
alone & none to help. Elder Ward esspeci-
ally has manifested great neglect & indiffe-
renc in assisting me ayway However I have
struggled through it by the Help of God

concocked by Mr the printer And A
professed friend standing near me in
office & interest, but the Lord knoweth
