about 100 volumes of the Millennial Star which I wish
to get bound before I leave the city so that they can
be sold while I am gone I have also 125 Books of
Mormon which I also wish to dispence of. Brother Joseph
is expected here every day to hold a conference with us before
we part, should he come before I get ready to leave

Maine immediately. I expect to see you in about
a week it may be a little over. Do you get the times & Seasons the 12 No is interesting they had a
glorious conference in Nauvoo the 6th April the founda-
tion of the House of the Lord was Laid 10,000 persons
