Feb 15th Elder Kimball received a letter from his wife Dated Nauvoo Dec 30th, she informed us that [FIGURE]Joseph had written for the Twelve to come
immediately home for our personal safety, as great
Judgments are nigh in this land even at the Door. She
spoke of our families being well, as far as she knew
O! God hasten the day when we can behold the
faces of our wife's & children Prepare us O God for
evry event which awaiteth us, Deliver us O Lord
from evry evil for we are in thine hands. Thou know
est the integrity of our hearts & the sacrafizes
which we have made for thy cause on this mission
May all things work together for our good, help
us O Lord to keep the faith & overcome the world
that no man may take our crown, which I ask
in the name of Jesus Christ Amen
I Received 3 Letters one from T. Kington one from James Blakesleey, one from Edward Oaky I wrote a letter to Elder J. Blakesley. We
spent the evening at Br Morgans several of the
Saints were present we conversed about the
Things of God. We feel the forebodeings of the
things that are at the door, & spedily await the
world, their is no doubt but what troubles will
soon arise between England & America but may
the Lord prepare his Saints for the worst
