4th came to hand this morning. I am pleased
to hear from you so often but I am sorry
that I cannot give you more news. I have
however Just received a letter from Parley
enclosing another from my DearSally containing
news from Nauvoo up to Septr 11th. She writes
that its ^has^ been sickly there this season that many
have died sometimes two 3 & 4 per day among
the rest number of the dead is Joseph
Smith Sen this certainly is a great loss but he
rests from his troubles, loved, & respected by the
faithful brethren. We shall remember him until
we shall again take him by the hand. Gov. Boggs
was mad when the kidnapers were demanded & immediate-
ly sent & demanded 6 of our brethren of the Gov.
of Illinois Namely J. Smith Jr., Parley P. Pratt, Lyman Wight,
