be accepted without going to Liverpool I could do
nothing with it in Boston, & the order would not
be paid untill 60 days after sight & accepted, & this
could not be collected at Liverpool inand forwarded
to the Bluffs in time to pay debts in order to
liberate them in time to go this Spring but as
it was the Best I could do with it, I wrote him

manage it so as to raise the money on it in this
country so as to forward it to Elder Hyde this
Spring to make out the draft in OrsonPratts
Name, as He was in Liverpool let him collect it &
forward it to Elder Hyde the earliest safe opportunity.

inue with them untill another Spring
I Recieved a Letter from ABadlam a few
days since from Chagres. He was 22 days from Boston
to that plaice. Had a good quick trip & all was well New York abounds with many Charactertures intending to
represent the scenes in the golddigings one of which I
forward to president Young, with the bundle of paper
which I forward to you with Elder Appleby who
will also take my package of Letters to you.
Every letter coming from the valley that the public can
get hold of is publish far & wide. A Letter
from SisterKimball to her Friends in Mendon
was published in the western and Eastern papers. you
will see it in the Herald, it is very good.
The most Terrible floods ^in^ all the western rivers have deluged
the land wors than ever before known in our day & some
terrible whirlwinds & tornadoes caused great damage fires &
crime are still on the increase.
