Letter from Ward Eaton Pack Sr., 14 January 1891

Honolulu, Prest W. Woodruff Dear Brother I arrived here late last evening and find that a vessel will sail today for Cal I feel it my duty to write you this short note to inform you of our pros- pects. Knowing well your interest in this Mission, The Elders in the field who are preaching write very encou- rageingly and all seems to be going well. Some are being baptized, but in some places the Members are quite carless. Two of the four Elders who came here a short time since are remaining in the plantation one learning to boil sugar and the other is assisting Bro Fox, about the mill while Bros Hawkes, and Fisher are out amongst the natives studying their language Bro Brown seems to feel much better since his wife came.
