W Woodruff said I am glad to meet you in the capacity of a quarterly conference & I am glad to have the privileg of meeting with you as a missionary in connextion with so many other missionaries we know it is necessary for you to have the spirit of God in order to be benefited by our teaching & it is necessary for us to have the spirit of God as missionaries [in] order to teach to your edifycation. the Lord has a great deal to communicate to this people for we have much to learn before we are prepared to dwell in the presence of God so I wish you all to get the spirit of God that you may all be edify & that you may by faith draw forth those things from the Lord which it is his will you should obtain through his ser- vants who shall address you.
