Dear Brother by request
of President John Morgan I write you a few
lines to let you know of my safe arrival at home
Being called at the Oct conference of 1880
to fill a mission in the Southern States I felt to
comply. and in so doing I know that God has
blessed me. I was gone from home 18 months
I started from home on the 8th of Oct 1880—and
arrived at home April 28th 1881
While I was gone I traveled mostly in
Alabama and Miss[issippi] . I was set apart to fill my
mission by Wiliam Taylor
My traveling companion was Elder
John Robertson. We held a good many meetings
and alayed much predgadice. We babptized
one man. We were threatend sevarl times by the
Mobb but the Lord raised up friends to us and
our lives were preseved for which I feel thankfull
We had power given us to heal the sick by the
laying on of hand for the gift of the Holy Gohst
And the promises of the Lord were verified
I enjoyed my mission very much and I feel
to thank Lord his servants sent me and considered
me worthy to be a messenger of life and salvation
to the naitoins of Earth. praying God to abundantly
