remission of their sins.

President Grant has gone into the North counties,
and is preaching and baptizing whole wards, and building
up Churches. I presume the same course will be pursued
in the wards in this city. The people begin to feel more
than ever that they are dealing with the spirit and power of
God, and the Holy Priesthood. Yes the Latter Day Saints
begin to feel that they are dealing with a spirit that can
reach the hearts, know the thoughts and intents thereof, and
try the souls of men. The people are called to sanctify
themselves before the Lord, that we may be prepared for the
work of our God.

Elder P. P. Pratt, in company with the Eastern Missionaries
Started on the 10th inst.

We are making great preparations for our Home Manufacturing
and Agricultural State fair, which is to be held in the Deseret Store.
The awarding committees occupy it tomorrow to award premiums,
after which it will be open to the public. It would do your soul good
to walk through the building and see the products of Utah which
are there gathered together; it is certainly far beyond my expectation.
A full account will be published oin the Deseret News.

The California Mail arrived to day: I received a letter from
Elder C. C. Rich, of San Bernardino—all well in that place.

We are having a favorable fall for all kinds of labor, except
it is dry—we need rain.

Oure early frosts damaged late corn very much. Some are
sowing their fall wheat. Wheat is again selling from $1 to $1.50
per bushel, notwithstanding we have just passed through a famine.

Your family, and the families of all our brethren in England
are well so far as I know.

Remember me to Elder Benson and all our friends. Yours truly,
W Woodruff
