I have made Enquiry among the Saints as I came along about
furnishing the teams with a load of sumthing for the Temple
wheat seemed to be about the ownly thing that their was a
prospect of getting and that generally was not thrashed, a number
spoke of driving Beef cattle. I told them it would be acept-
able. I spent the night with Br. Simpson B. Huffaker one mile for
south of Green field he says he has about 400 bushels of wheat
he will turn into the Temple. Israel Huffaker has about 150
bushels, & Br Collins about 50 bushels, making about six hundred
bushels of wheat in that Neighborhood, but it is 150 miles from
Nauvoo. now by carrying it 18 miles they can get 5005 per
build for it, now shall they sell it & get money for it & [send]
or carry you the money, or can their be a Steem boat
sent for it which can go within 30 miles, or will it be
wisdom to convey it so far by land. they will get a mashine
and thrash it before long would it not be well to write
Br Huffaker a letter upon the subject, & tel him what you
wish him to do about it. it will be vary expesive carrying
it so far by land. for further particulars enquire of Br
Williams.

The two Laws W^m & Wilson have
followed us or been on the road either before or behind us for the
last hundred miles. they came into Chicago a few minutes
behingd behind us. what their object is I have not yet fully known
they are in town this morning. they have visited the churches & sants
through the country trying to sell their land & property
in Nauvoo for money, cattle or exchange for land in the county
they had about succeeded in making a traid of this kind with
the Saints in Toulon Ill untill we came along I put a
veto upon it & broke it up & am going to do it evry whae I go
for they are ownly trying to gull the Saints for they will loose
