Letter from George Teasdale, 11 October 1887
My beloved brother: I quietly sit down to have a chat with you like we have done in the good days gone bye. I was very much pleased to re- ceive your ever welcome favor of the 16th ult. and thank you for your kindly expressions and encouragement, as well as the news it contained. I am very glad to hear your health is so good surely the Lord is making you equal to the occasion and answering the prayers of the thous- ands that are offered up in your behalf. I am more than thankful to hear from you. Now I am going to tell you what I am doing and how I find things generally as conscisely as I can. When I am at home at 8:30^a.m.^ we have prayers in the room over the office, that has got the names of the prayer room. We read a chapter or two in the Bible and then we take turns in prayer. Afterwards breakfast attend to mail and such business as needed, go out occasionally for a breath of fresh air, dine, attend to correspondence and the general affairs of the mission and the reading of proof for "Star" when needed or anything in connection with the business. Before supper we gather in prayer room
