My Dear Grand Daughter
Your vary interesting Letter Aug 27
came to hand all right And I have tryed many
times to Answer it but I have not found a
Searene moment to do it And now I have
owly time betwen meetings to write a few
lines I passed through since I saw you
one of the hardest sickness of my life and
No one thought I could Live but I think it
was through the pleadings of the people with
the Lord I with my councellors accompanied
the Quire to the fair and had a great time
of course you know the Quire got the 2
Prize of $1000 against the world and we
were received with great kindness & we
were called upon for speeches before great assem-
-blies & we got back all safe. Your Father
is at work in the Temple I have just been
at work there fo 4 Hours
