The last letter
you wrote me you wished me contained a request
for Elder Kimball to Write you a letter, & send
you the news from his Wife. Elder Kimball has
also Recieved your letter directed to us under
Date of Feb 4th He intended to have answered your
request before this time but, having been
vary busy, he said to me this morning (as
he was going to Woolwich with Elder Snow)
I wish you would write to Brother Smith
so according to his request I feel disposed to
drop you a few lines. I received a letter
to day from you to Elder Snow, in which
you also speak of some of the unpleasant
difficulties which you have to settle in the
Churches truly such things are disagreeable
& my prayer is that the Lord will give
you Wisdom & council in evry time of
need & grace according to your day in
all things. As to news from America I dont
know that we have any thing exept what you
have heard. A letter came here for Elder Young
from his wife which we sent to him. She heard
that Joseph was about to write to Br Young for the
Twelve to come home in the Spring, &c.
Elder Snow arived here last evening from Birmingham
