were in his house he has boldly stood up in defence
of the faith bore record of the truth of the
work & faithfully warned his Brethren to
obey the gospel, he is making evry preperation to
gather with the Saints & help as many as he can to
Do the same. Sister Ann appears willing to do the
same, But has some fears that her Brothers will
hender her getting ready & gathering with the
Saints. She wishes me to Pray that God will
deliver her. As I bid her farewell she put into
my hands £05 A crown & A Peace of paper containing
the following lines. To my Dear Friend

Oh say not we are Parted
While our souls can meet in prayer
Whilst there is a throne of love
And one hope unites us there

When the first light of the morning
First tints the east with red
I pray that heavens best blessings
May be showerd on thy head

And when evening's lengthning shadows
Recall the hour of Prayer
There is no mercy that I crave
But thy Dear name is there

(Good Bye)
When from the friend we dearly love
Fate tels us we must part
By words we can but febly prove
The anguish of the heart
[FIGURES]

And in soft words how'er sincere
Can half so much imply
As that suppressed & trembling tear
Which drowns the word good bye

The oceans may between us rool
And distant be our lot
Ah 'tho we part to meet no more
Dear Friend forget me not
A Ockey
A. O. to W. Woodruff
