I have had two days Meetings with the
Apostles 10 of us in all. The Labor of the
Church has been turned over to me
as the presiding Authority, And I increases
my Labor, care & responsibility four fold
I find my Hands full of business
I dont Expect to be able to visit the
farm House much. Prudence would
deprive me of this these times. the
vigilence of our Enemies Will now
be increased and I shall have to use
great Caution. I would Like to know
how you Liked the Temple at Logan.
Brother Roskelley spoke very Highly of you
Did you stop with Sister Thatcher.

and give me an account of your visit
at Logan & Smithfield. How many were
