my present place of Abode and to change
my Address Here after untill otherwise
advised my Address will be outside

Reaches you I Expect President John Taylor
will be mingling with the Martered
Prophets with whom He mingled his blood
in Carthage Jail He is vary Low and cannot
Last but few days and one object I have
in writing at this time is to ask Brother
^Joseph^ why He cannot come home I certainly
would Like to see your face once more and
Enjoy your society and be blessed with
your council I have spent 15 Hours
