St George Temple to get work done you will hve
to make your calculation to be here the fore
part of Aug, as the Temple will close the 12 Aug &
will not open again untill the the 18 Oct so it
will be better for you to have your work done
in Aug I am as well as usual except a little
cold. I have No News that will be of interest
to you. I am at the Temple a few days to meet
with some friends who come to Conference that Meets
on Saturday & Sunday. I shall be glad to see
you here when the time comes. I take much
plesure with my wives & children. Even if I do not
enjoy there society, the Lord has Blessed me with
good children they love me & I have them. Clara
is a char[ac]ter & good virtuous girl If I have my
Idols she is one of them. And I hope & trust she is
