Letter from George Albert Smith, 1 August 1856
W. Woodruff Dear Bro.
I just received a note from
F. D. Richards dated Liverpool July 18, 1856—
which informs me that Elders O. Pratt &
E. T. Benson arrived in Liverpool on Sunday
night about 12 oclk that night of the 13th July.
Franklin expected to sail
from Liverpool on the 26th July in company
with Elder Whelock J. A. Young, Dunbar,
Linforth & family.
I expect to go to N. York
to meet them as I wish to see him &
Elder Taylor together before Congress adjourns.
Brothers Heywood Bernhisel and
myself are well altho the weather has
been so hot as to prostrate us considerably
Congress spent the Day yesterday
quarrelling about Kansas.
Kansas is all that can be
thought of in the house of Representatives
Brooks & Keitt have been returned
to Congress by their respective Districts
They had resigned in consequence
of the Sumner Censure—They will pro-
bably take their seats as soon as Monday
