Bro Holt. Briggs & I are going over to Oldham
to day to hold meeting in the openair,
we keep preaching away but it does
not seem to result in much good. It
may be like bread cast upon the water
which will come forth at some future
day. I saw old dad Worthingtons Widow
& daughter the other day; he used to live
next to Wagstaff in Johnsons old place
just mention it to mother shee will
remember him: the old lady say she
has just recieved inteligence of his
death about one month ago; she does
not know that he married again and
I dident till her for it would only make
her feel bad; It seems he was the only
one in the church of his family & this
accounts for his leaving his family here
Bro Briggs showed me around yeasterd-
ay throught the markets & buisines part of town, the fish market was the greatest
sight I ever saw in my life. Bought
