& feelings of the Saints in this country, that it would be
much better for the Temple money to be sent to Nauvoo
than to be paid on Orders here, thinks if it should be
known that it would be a blow up to collecting funds for
the Temple here they not knowing the circumstances that
their money is used for other purposes than for the temple.
I see from papers & Letters that the Saints in Nauvoo are
about entering unto [into] a systemmatical course of manuf-
acturing various articles for home consumption I think their
can be a system entered into in this country to cooperate
with them in Nauvoo to a good advantade [advantage] which we shall
speak of more hereafter, & I think the Emegration business
can be carried on to a greater extent than what it has been
heretofore. We need an agency Esstablished at New [York] [page torn]
& New York & I trust these things may be brough[t] [page torn]
in process of time. 5 or 6 good wise American Elders that would
harken to council let mysteries alone & preach the first principles of
the gospel could find a good field of Labour here. what we have are
doing well, Sister Pitchforth who goes with this ship I have recommendend
to go to you for council about settleing in Nauvoo she is a worthy Sister

see fit. as soon as I get a knowledge of things as they exhist in this
country I will communicate it to you. please give my respects
to the Twelve, Br Phelps, Whitney, Miller, Clayton, & all my old
friends who inquire after me. & Sister YoungPhebe says give
my respects to Br & Sister Young. Yours in the Kingdom of God
