San Francisco, . The President of the Church of Jesus Christ of L.D.S. Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Brethren: Sunday the 4th inst. we held our semi-annual conference here in San Francisco. We had a very delightful time. We had a full house at each of the three meetings. Much interest was manifest. The Elders have gone to their fields of labor with renewed determination all feeling well and enjoying good health. We had three applications for baptism last night. We had a crowded house. It seems that we are meeting with some success here in San Francisco than elsewhere. We don't feel the opposition of our enemies so much here as we do in the [blank] places.
