Dear Brethren:
On Saturday last Elders
Able J. Evans and David T Lewis, of the Welsh Mission
and Edward Richins, of the Bristol Conference,
left Liverpool, per Guion S.S. Nevada, for home
having to return through ill health, and at
the recommendation of their Conference Presidents.
On Sunday last I attended a Conference of the
Irish Mission at Belfast. There was only four
baptisms reported in the last years statistical re-
port. But since last Conference held there has been
12 baptized. The brethren are very energetic 16,700
tracts had been distributed, 17 Book of Mormon, sold, and
8 loaned, 4 presented to the public library. 118 of the cheap
edition of the Voice of Warning had been sold, and 31 loaned,
4 presented to the public library. 33 open air meetings held.
This is a good showing when we take into considera-
tion there are only 62 members & officers in the miss-
ion including 7 Elders from Utah, one of these, Elder Lewis
Hunt, of Snowflake Arizona, was released to go home
on May 24th. This week Elder Hans Hansen Jr,
who arrived here Saturday April 26th with the miss-
ionaries appointed to Scandinavia, returned to this
office. He stated he was sick and could not stand
