Letter from William Spry, 17 September 1890

Dear Brother,
Herewith you will please find enclosed
the Semi-Annual Report of this mission ending Aug 31, [18]90
I was mistaken, in making the statement found in my
last to you, that our number of baptisms were greater
this year than for a corresponding time last year. In-
stead they are scarcely one half. I had been misinformed.
I am engaged at present time in visiting the different
Conferences in the Mission. I have already visited three
of them and find their affairs in a fairly prosperous con-
dition New fields have been found so far where all the
Elders could return to and where there were a sufficient
number of investigators to keep them busily engaged.
Several have already been baptised this month and more
have applied which applications will be attended to as the
Brethren return to their fields of labor. In fact most
of our baptisms were performed during the past two
months.
There is quite a friendly feeling existing toward us
