home it will be so much less care & trouble than it will be to see to your own
wood water &c. this is simply my present feeling upon the subject, Remember me with gratitude
to Brother Clark. & tell him for me that if he feels willing to lend you the hand of assistance in
this your time of need & let you tarry with him untill my return, that he shall not
loose his reward & he shall have my prayers & Blessing & the Blessing of God shall rest upon
him & his children, & his childrens children untill the latest generation, could I
have the privilege of being with my own family I would not trouble any person with
them, But a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me [1 Corinthians 9:17] in common with my
Brethren & required at our hands in consequence of which my family must be assisted by
some one in time of need. & I say again in the name of Jesus Christ that that soul
who does good to my wife or children while I am in the vineyard of the Lord doing his work
shall be blessed of the Lord & no power shall take it from them, & I feel vary thankful
to Brother Clark for his kind offer. Give my respects to the Sister Clark you speak of & also Brother
Clarks Son, Remember me to Bro^r & Sister Smoot, & Brother L. Whight & family should you see them
& all enquiring friends I rejoice to hear of the progress of the work in America & the prospect of
the Saints being rewarded for their loss by the government. I was much pleased with your
letter it contained much news. I gave you an account in my last letter of my
opening a new field in the South part of England, in Herefordshire, the work of the Lord
has continued to roll on from the time I first commenced preaching in this part of the
land untill the present time in a manner that I have never before seen it in these last
days, it is not yet 3 months since I first lifted up my voice to preach to the people in
this part of England a region which had not herd the sound of it before but now conta
ins a Church of 500 Saints, with about 50 Elders & priests. about 50 of which
were preachers of the orders of the day, I have administered Baptism to about 300 of
the Saints above spoken of, & Elders Young & Richards & the Elders & priests which
we have raised up in this Branch have Baptized the other 200, & the field which is opened
here is so large & extensive that it seems as though the work had but just began
here & I expect hundreds will be added to the Church here. It is rapidly opening
doors in all the Surrounding country in the South of England & also in Wales we have
Baptized some few in the Border of wales. We have this day receeved the first No of the
Latter Day Saints Millennial Star. published by the travling council Edited by P P Pratt at

England & Scotland where it is faithfully proclaimed. Elders Mullener & Wright are doing
well in Scotland. O. Pratt has gone to Scotland I have not herd from him. Jn
Taylor is Baptizing in Liverpool. The American Brethen are well as far as I know
