are prepared for the receptince of any Rigdonites that may
come to this country I have no fears of their doing much
damage to the Church in this country land for though
our ulabourers are few we have good success in keeping the
bars up. we have published 1,500 hundred of O. Hydes
address before the Hight Priest quorum. Their is much
sensitive feeling in this land at the present time on the subject
of the annexation of Texas & Oregon question some think
the embankment that Jackson made use of at the Battle
of New Orleans viz cotton Bales will stop the war & some
think it will not be strong Enough to do it. Editors
say the late English Embassadors have put the placed
this country in a situation to be the laughing stok
of the whole world. I wish I could spend one sabbath in
Nauvoo or the City of Joseph to see how you all
look & what you are doing, but all late News bring
most a glorious report of the goodly land & City &
while it is well with you all those I trust & believe I
shall be remembered before the Lord in your prayers the
Lord has been with me thus far on this mission
& I hope he will be, or his blessing untill my work is done
here. Remember me to Sister Taylor, The Twelve
judge Phelps, Hands in the office, their families, the [prophets]
Mother Smiths, widows of the Martered prophets & all who in
inquire after me including the Lords annointed as far as you
see them. From your ^friend &^ Brothr in the Truth,
