Letter to John Taylor, 8 March 1881
President John Taylor, Dear Brother: I telegraphed to you the other day giving an account of my attack of bilious colic. I have so far recovered as to be able to day to attend to some confirmations at the baptismal font; with a fair prospect of soon being fully restored. The work in the Temple continues to be prosperous. There is an excellent spirit pre- vails with the workers They appear well united in their labours but I think there should be something done as soon as possible
