I have laying before me your letter
of April 8th, in which you give an account of the
visitation of the Marshals at St. George and a list of
those arrested. You also speak of the fine appearance
of the country around you, and of your time of fishing
with Bros. McAllister, Cannon, Thompson, &c.
I have also your letter of April 16th,
in which your speak of the sickness of Sister Atkin
and the condition of William. I hope they will
both soon be well again. You speak of the visitation
of Bros. McAllister and Cannon and others at your

stone room. I am very glad they have a place of
retreat there, and that you have a disposition to receive
them and treat them kindly, &c. For all this you shall
not lose your reward.
I shall give you a call whenever I
come into that country. I do not remember ^forget^ the many
pleasant hours I have spent there with you. My family
are generally well at present. Our trees are only just
in bloom in this country; but the whole earth looks
as though it was drying up for the want of water.
Bro. Geo. Q. wishes to be remembered to you. Remem-
ber us to your family.
