give me your address & Also Azmun I would like to write to
him. I have spent most of my time in the Historians office for
second years past, I however attend to all budding, grafting, & pruning
of my orchards & vineyards &cs. I would like much to see you but I
do not know [w]hen it will be. If I should Ever go East again I should
calculate to make you a visit, & perhaps the day may come when you
will visit Utah as strange things as this have happened I am
satisfied that the day is not far distant when there will be much
trouble through the United States the Nations is becoming divided &
will be Broaken to pieces and great calamities await the people
but they will never acknowledge it untill it comes upon them
But all mem will soon find that great changes & Revolutions are at
their door, & many will want to find a place of Reffuge in that
day & Utah will be the safest place upon the continent in that
day & we shall be glad to see any of our friends in this county
whenever they feel disposed to come. write soon
