Letter to E. Little, 27 March 1846
New York
Dear Brother Little
In great Haste I sit
down to say a few words to you before I leave the
City. I had a long interview with Mr Benson
yesterday and He excedingly desires to do business
with us He says if He does it for nothing. I was
much pleased with my interview with him. He
truly seems to be a Gentleman I think it would
be well to keep upon you terms with him as far
as possible I would like to have [Emepatius cating]
as fast as doors are open either by Sea or land but
I think it might for us to see our way clear
in Chartering Ships & get subscriptions among the
Saints for that purpose before running great risks
I like the spirit manifest by Mr Benson And as
far as you can do business as cheap with him as
others I would prefer to continue business with him
as He apparently manifests much interest in our
welfare. I Hope the Lord will open your way
to get a goodly number out by fall if not before
My respects to Sister Little & all the Saints
with
Yours respectfully
W. Woodruff
