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.

I haven't yet received a receipt of the tithing report sent in
Sept. 2nd.

I send you a financial report of the Mission ending Oct1. 12th, 1896.

Bro. & Sis. Scowcroft and I leave for Los Angeles Thursday. We
excpect a good time whilei in the southern part of the state.

My addrrees in Los Angeles will be 135 N. Olive St. Hoping to
hear from you soon, I remain

Your Brother
