Letter from Elisha Hildebrand Davis, 27 March 1846
Ansd May 24/46 Dear Brother Woodruff I have delayed writing to you as late as possible so that I might have the latest news for you before you start; I hope you are well. I am happy to say I enjoy excellent health; I am still in the great City; I have been delivering a course of lectures this winter; we had 5,000 hand bills circulated, and the meetings are well attended by stran- gers, & some are believing, & obeying, I am going to day to baptise. I have also sent the proclamations to some of the members of parliament as you commanded me; and I intend to send it ^to^ more of them. But I have never heard a whisper from any source about what they think of it. I seal them up in an letter envellope & write their private address with the word "private" on it, so I think there can be no mistake but what they recieve them in person
Letter to Jesse Carter 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. Had a long in- terview with Mr. Benson yesterday and he exceedingly desires to do business with us he says if he does it for nothing. I was much pleased with my interview with him. He appears to me to be a gentleman. I think it will be well to keep upon good terms with him as far as possible. I would like to have Emigration continue as fast as doors are open either by sea or lands. But I think it right for us to see our way clear in charter- ing ships.—by getting subscriptions among the Saints for that purpose before running any risks, that would be detrimental to the course and a disadvantage to the Church. I like the spirit manifested by Mr. Benson with my interview with him yesterday. And as far as you can, do business with him as cheap as elsewhere. 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. Bro. Appleby has left the business entirely in regards to chartering a vessel in your hands and is going out with a company by lands, My respects to Sister Little and all the Saints. I remain your Bro. in the Church W. Woodruff. A true copy from the original. By J C Little Jr.
