other indian tribes they also seem to Possess
minds capaciated to receive any Principles
of the Gospell eaqual to the Anglo Saxon
race a Histry with full description of
our journey I will send you Hereafter
my object in writing you at this time is that
we believe that the time Has come when mission-
aries should be called who can speak the spanish
languge or will soon learn it to go forth
among them to Preach the Gospell & prepare
them to fullfill their destiny in this last
dispensation and as we was desirous of
Presenting ^to you^ some names for the October
Conference and mails being so uncertain
we wish to write in time. Bro Tenny
has visited the settlements before and had in
some measure opened the way & formed
acquaintences so that we were able to hold some
meetings among them and we were very kindly
received & entertained in all places that we went
and we are satisfied there is no better field
open for labor for a class of wise men than
there is among that People one or two men
cannot do much alone in Breaking the bands
of Catholocism that has bound those tribes for
generations but with a combined effort of a
company of the Elders of isreal it can be done
