to see our flour & meal bags replenished in the midst of the black Hills as it did to have the children of Israel fed with manna in the wilderness [Exodus 16:11-15]. But the Lord has truly been with us on this Journey we have had peace & union in our midst, our Horses & cattle have been wonderfully preserved from death & Accident on the way & our waggons from Breaking down. Great good will grow out of this mission if we are faithful in keeping the commandments of God

I have taken great delight of late in reading the book of Mormon seeing the great & glorious things revealed & recorded in that book & that we are now trying to fulfill the great things or some of them that Lehi Nephi Alma, Moroni, Isaiah and many other prophets had in view in the last days in building up Zion, redeeming Israel, warning the Nations & sealing salvation upon the meek of the earth & laying a foundation that the earth may be prepared for the coming of the Mesiah.
