Dear Brother
Your very comforting letter of the 18th inst. has duly come to
hand and many thanks for your kind words.
Anticipating my probable withdrawal from the B. Y. Acad-
emy, I had fixed up a private study room in my own home,
where I can work without interruption whenever I chose.
This will enable me under the present state of affairs, to spend
any convenient time before and after school hours in my
studyroom, and as I cannot be without work I may at-
tend to the edition of the German Book of Mormon as well
as to any other mental labor. As my own German B of M.
is too dear to me through many reminiscenses since 1853, as
that I could ^spoil it^ by the unavoidable process of paragraphing & c
& c. Would you kindly give me the privilege of getting one
in the Deseret News office for that purpose?
I have been informed by my son Reinhard, that, in
consequence of the death of Sister Shepherd at Beaver, her
family contemplate to place her large two story dwelling-
house at the disposal of the B. S. Academy, which would
be a grand hoist for that institution. Prof. J. M. Tanner
