Letter from George Teasdale, 3 September 1890
My beloved brother: I thank you very kindly for the hansome copy of The [illegible] of [illegible] you [bot] me and appreciate the compliments Last Sunday I atten ded a very good Conference of the Saints in the Sheffield Conference. We had an interesting time. Apostle Teasdale and other Utah Elders were billed in large posters to attend, and it some- what stirred up the "Anti-mormon" element, and a row seemed likely. It was the first time we had met since the excitement caused by Jarmons lectures, without the police protection at our con- ference. We had quite a turn out in the evening and it seemed likely for a disturbance but the blessing of God was with us. I occupied the evening and had the best of attention and preached the gospel in the power of the Spirit, and no one asked a question. I seemed to have the Bible at my finger ends and spoke 70 min- utes by the power of the Spirit. Elder Jos. J. Golightly is doing well and the Elders with him, but they are expecting to go home in the fall. My health has been improving and I enjoy my labors better now than I have ever done I have been so blessed of the Lord, I should have rejoiced exceed- ingly at my released if I could have gone home
