Your letter from Long Island
was nice this evening, and I hasten to Say
to you that you should have written to Orson Pratt
the Same Statements that you have written to me.
He is the presiding officer of the Church in England,
and Littlefield, it appears, has returned there and
is under Bro. Pratts immediate jurisdiction.
Such conduct as he is guilty of to all appea[rances],
should be Sufficient to cause his immediate ex-
communication from the Church, and let him
labor with his hands for his support, and return
to this place if he has any desire to be Saved.
If you have written to bro. Pratt concerning him
all will be well; but if you have not, I wish
you to do so, and add my Sayings to your letter.
Bro. Oliver Cowdry has assisted me to put up
my press to day. Hase has returned here with his
family—made his satisfaction to the Church and
has been voted to the rec'd by baptism. I expect
to baptize him tomorrow. I hope to get my paper
out this Month and Shall forward it to you
immediately thereafter. With regard to any particular
trouble here, I have no fears at present. Still,
I do not know what the Devil and wicked men
may do. I am in the house of the Lord and so
are they. His will be done. I have not acted
