Sister Elizabeth Johnston

I Received your Letter of 1^st May
you seem to think hard of me becaue I have not written
to you before but I never knew where you was or where to
direct a letter to you untill I got you letter we are all
well as usual it is a general time of Health in this city
I you wish me to take care of your 5 Acre & City Lots I
hiave never known any thing about them since I got your
Letter. I have made enquiry concerning them of the Recorder
He informs me that the 5 Acre lot is now Recorded to
Robert Pixton who has paid the taxes on it & a Brother Bullock
informs me that you left that Lot in his charge
your City lot still stands to your Name on halfe &
the same Lot is in Brother Harris Name. I will inquire of Brother
Harris about it, & see how it is the first oppertunity. Your
English Friends that you name are all well as far as I know
Brother Bundy is farming in the big field. You had a great
trial in the death of your Husband. I suppose you are again
Married to a Brother Johnson as I see you sign your Name
Elizabeth Johnson. I hope you may ^will^ be blessed & prosper
in what undertake to do. My family are all well Mrs Wooduff
writes to be Remembered to you. Our Territoy is fast filling up we
have had hard times during the past year for the want of food
as all the crop were cut off last year we are now having a good
Harvest we shall have a great Emigration this season from
England the cause is prospering much in England & many
we say the church the City of the Great Salt Lake
has increased very much since you left
you will find the News of the day in the
Deseret News

Yours Respectfully
