Letter from Orson Pratt and Sarah Marinda Bates Pratt, 4 February 1850
Liverpool Dear Sister Wodruff Mr Pratt received a letter from Pres. Woodruff this morning, which gave us much news and much joy, and likewise put me in mind again of writing to you, for many times I have thought I would sit down and write to you, but a multiplicity of cares has prevented until now, my family are all quite well at present except my self, my own health is not as good as when I was in America I was quite sick last night, and write with a trembling hand this morning, this climate seems to damp to be healthy, we have a little daughter her s about six weeks old. I hope the Lord will spare her unto us if it is pleasing in his sight, for we much desire to keep those little ones which is given unto us. no I enjoy my self vary much in this land, I have no desire to return until it is our duty to do so. I am vary happy, in the society of my husband and family I think we never enjoy'd our selves better. the work is rolling on rapidly, them truth is progressing among this wicked generation, and this causes our hearts to rejoice, and our souls to be made glad, we shall sloy be looking for four of the twelve, and many other Elders to arrive soon, we shall be much pleased to see them, no doubt you well know how this seems to be situated
