Although it is sunday
I seat myself to write a few lines to you
Ma & Phebe Scholes is in the Hall & I am
alone in the Dining Room We got your letter
to me & Ma of April 19 And as usual we
had a feast while Reading Owens Letters We have
made up your our minds to direct all
your Letters to Frankfort untill Divide Dollarwise
I sent you on Friday 2 lithograph likenesses
of our Temple about 2 feet square they are
vary fine one should be hung in your
room or where they could be seen I hope
they will come safely & I hope Germany will
not charge you as much Duty as
Germany England & U S has charged me for
an Album containing the city of Moscow
sent me by the Zar of Russia to pay me
for sending him a plan of our Great Tabernacle
They charged me $15 dollars Duty on it
and held it in the Revenue office at
New York untill I sent them the Money
