Letter from Andrew Kimball, 5 February 1888
President Woodruff,
Dear Brother:
I take pleasure in reporting the
condition of The Indian Territory
Mission. Letters last received from
all inside of the last week express
somewhat more of success than for
some time prior to that.
The Elders have all been labor-
ing in new fields, extending their
travels into the interior of the
Choctaw Nation. In some instances
they have been bitterly opposed
and in other places have found
kind friends and have opened
new fields. The Brethren seem
to feel encouraged of late hav-
ing found those openings for preach-
ing the Gospel and getting friends.
Elder J. A. Booth now the oldest
in the field is quite sick, hav-
ing chilled so much that it is
almost cronic with him now,
his bowels have become ^so^ badly
affected that he can scarcely
strain food, has the peles badly
also. He exprisses a desire to
remain, with the hope that a
change will do him good.
