^[lea]rned^ in the sealing Ceremyony so as to wash in that Departing, President Young
is now getting better, able to wash some without his cruches I
think He will soon be with us in the TempleSister Hiram Kimball, Sister Grant, & Brother & Sister Townsend are here they pretended
to say they never saw me look so well in there homes as I
do now, but I expect this is some flatery. I want to have you
take care of this letter, & not let it do me any but for what
I have said looks as though I was boasting, but I do not
feel to boast without it is in the Lord, for all that I have He
giveth me, and I feel to acknowledge his hand in it. Remember
me kindly to Azmon & ElizabethBr & Sister HulseJohn & Sarah Richie
and all enquiring friends I was very glad to learn that Blanch
was better. The last I heard from Sarah she had been quite
sick and when she wrote ownly able to set up a little and Sylvia quite sick with the diptheraMa said Bulah
Baby was quite sick with cold on the Lungs But I hope
there will not any of our family die while I am gone
I wish I could spend some of my learne time with you,
and the children But I expect I will have to wait untill
spring. We have called Sister Church into the Temple to work to
assist in washing and Anointing the Sisters. I want to write a little to
the children for they will think hard of it if I do not you must
try to comfort William Smoot and his family what you can I
know it is a hard Blow to them. That Health, Strength, peace,
power and the Blessings of God may rest upon you and your children is
the daily prayer of Your Husband & Companion W Woodruff
