Letter to John Taylor, 29 May 1879
Sunset, Arizona
President John Taylor
Dear Brother: I
recieved your very interesting letter per
Lot Smith. Thanks for the same. I have
written an account of the country men and
thing in my travels for the News. I would
like you to read it and if there is no
objections to it, deliver it to the editor
of Deseret News. I did not feel like say-
ing much to the public about the Laman-
ites, but I have had many interesting
meetings with them. I have spoken some-
what lengthy upon the united order. I do
not believe there are any settlements in the
whole land of Zion, that enjoy more of the
spirit of the Lord or are better contented
and living thier religeon than these settle-
ments in the united order, all are temper-
ate, no strong drink, coffee, tea or tobacco,
I hear no contention or discontent and I
have felt that it is my duty to strengthen
thier hands, and sustain them in trying.
