& Bishops & by Apostle Richards who
promised me great & glorious blessings
& have been to Salt Lake & Logan Temples
& been baptized for my health.
It is for the sake of my children
that I pour out the anguish of my
soul to you, not being able to go to
meetings with them & their father has
to work every day Sundays & holidays
too they are running wild.
Although this nervous trouble has been
coming on for years, one of the
Bishops here says it is the adversary
that is troubling me & I do not un-
derstand how that could be when
I have tried in every way to do
right & have never shrank from a
duty in the Church but have gone
under very trying circumstances
when I & my children have been
sick
