Letter from Leonard Wilford Hardy, 1 March 1847
East Bradford
My Dear Brother Woodruff
it is with pleasure
I take up my pen to write to one who is so
near to my Heart as you are and tel you some
of my present feelings and to Let you know
I have not forgotten you and your Dear family
since I Left you in Liverpool things have
taken strange overturns in the Church in Georgetown
at Father Holmeses I suppose you have heard that
the old man & Woman have been cut off from the
Church before this time and the meetings moved
to Bradford and Brother Mitton has got maried
and he has Left the meetings he has not
Attended more than 7 or 8 meetings since
we arived home from England and is as
flat as you please and I have but verry little
hopes of ever raising him again his Wife is
A Real Apostate and as bold as the Devil,
Father Holmes & Wife are Strang ites and some
few of the Church that partook of his spirit
we have about 20 Scattered members that
are true hearted Saints here and they are
placed under my charge and I hope I
shall be able to save them and bring
them to Zion I feel to rejoice still in
^the^ Work of God, I am the same as when you
had me in England, and I pray that I may
always be found true to the cause of God,
and my Brethren, that they may know
where to find me at all times. I feel Dissatified
belcause I cannot come to Zion this spring, but
I am poor, but I shall come if faithful,
for you said I should, and I believe it with
all my Heart, What say you Brother Woodruff
I think you will say Yea and Amen.
