Letter to Emma Manella Woodruff, 16 October 1879
Sunset Arizona, Dear Nellie I wish you would write me a letter and tell me how your mother is and what she is doing and how Asahel is getting along, and how you are (and when you are going to get married) As how is Clara, Owen, Blanhe, and Alice. Are any of them going to school, Clara and Owen ought to go. I have not heard from any of you for so long a time. I am as well as usual only I have taken a little cold and got pains over one of my eyes this morning. I want you ^to^ take good care of Henry & see that he doesn't work too hard. I don't expect I need to ask you to be a good girl for I expect you are always good. I want you to give my love to Clara, Owen & Blanche. I cannot write to them today, I expect Clara is getting almost a young woman. I want ^to have^ her and all the children learn all they can while they are young & I want to give you a little council for your future good and that is what leisure time you have to spend devote it to study the Bible, Book of Mormon, & covenants and you will there find those principles & knowledge that you will need to sustain you through and will help you to lead your children in the principles of virtue & righteousness I think I have read all three of these books through sinse I left Salt Lake City and I find them very profitable. What we store up in this life will go with us and affect us in the world to come whatever it be good or evil, and we need all the good we can procure to prepare us to inherit eternal life—and
