Letter to William Atkin, 3 May 1889
Salt Lake City, U.T. .

Bloomington, Washington Co.
Dear Brother: I received your letter of April 8th, but have never had a
moment that I could answer it until now.
Brother Geo. Q. and myself enjoy our freedom very much. We held 12 meetings
in three days in Utah County, and I had a very interesting conference on Sunday
and Monday last at Brigham City. About two thousand of the inhabitants met us at
the depot on our arrival on Sunday, and we had much of the spirit of teaching and
instruction on our meetings. I start in the morning for Logan, to attend the
conference there on Sunday and Monday. Brother Geo. Q. and myself have recently
returned ofrom a mission to California, where we spent ten days and had a very
interesting time, only I was sick three days. We saw a great deadl and a great many
people, and traveled considerably in the State. We went to Monterey and north of
the Geysers. We were satisfied from our observation of men and things that the
Lord is at work for us, although, of course, the devil is against us.
