Emigration of the Saints to that country is rapid commerce is grow-
ing fast, the work rolling on many are being baptized, &c. (Willford Woodruff Jr.
first made his appearance at Montrose On the 22nd day of March 1840 & in two
weeks after attended the general conference at commerce with his Mother
who was quite well & comfortable.) they had quite an interesting time
at conference rising of 70 was Baptized two of the Twelve vizO Hide & John E. Page were set apart to go to Palestine & visit the Jews in Jerrusalem they are on their way & will call upon us in England. Congress
has rejected the Bill or petition which the church has lade before them & the
Saints have made their final & last appeal to the Court of Heaven
& the Throne of God.

essteem it a favor to receeve a letter from you please to send by P P.
Pratt who will return direct to England or otherwise direct your letters
to me at 149 Oldham Road, Manchester, England. Trade & business is bad
in this country the oppression of the poor is great, many are in a state of
starvation in England & Ireland times are growing wors & wors temporally thoughout Europe. A company of 40 Saints left Liverpool for America a short
time Since & we expect anothe large company will start in
few weeks they will be led by Eldr Theodore Turley to Commerce
I am expecting to spend a few days with them to give them some council
about their journey, & also to send some things to my family. I do not
know at present when I shall again return to America but it will
be as soon as circumstances will will admit & the Lord will.
I have written letters to you since I have been in England I do
not know whether you have obtained them or not. I have not
herd any thing from you since I left you in New York
