are butifull, and thare Perrade ground
is grand, and very extenssive acres covered
with cannon, one of the greates Arsnells in
the known ^world^ they have a verry extensive ^duck yard^ thare
is three thousand men implaied, fisting fore
ware, fifteen hundred of them one convicts
a miserable set of being, as I Ever said
it is not so dence populated as London
but here and there, and Extends here sevrel
miles. I wish you could spend 2 or 3 days
thare, you would be delited. there is quite
a stur than more then there is is london

the brethren can guit a hous, the Doctor
spends much of his with ^us^ he ses he
never felt so well in his lif. he ses he shall
go to a—next spring if has able, he sits
by my side now. he is very humble and
teachable and a sound man. he ses give my
love to you. Sister Ellen also. she seames to be
humble. the Docter brought his children to
be blessed before he was baptised. our hous
is most full at this time, and in creasses Evry
weeke. thare seames to be much in quiry things
seames to be quite favourable. we are going
foreward to night to baptise, some I will let
you know how many on monday Morning as I
shall not finish it to night. I Recieved a leter
from Them as Smith, this day from clithrae
he ses the way is opened fore him to go to amari
ca. I feel as tho it would be bad fore him to go
as Wm Moss is going, as they are the only men
that are capiable to manage things in that part
I donot now but you and Elder Richards has
given your council fore him to go, if so I
have not a worde to say. he is a man that is
in a cituation to do much god in that part
of the land. you know one faithfull man is
worth, 50 unfaithfull ones, and such ones
I hate to see such leave the field. Brother
Smith is a wise man. Elder Richards knows
him well. now brethren you can see how I fell
on this subject, when you guit these lines pleas
write and let me know have you feel on this
subject. you know I have know selfishness
on such maters. I must bid you god night
25 we are in tolarble helth this morning. we have
a good tim on the Sabath. our hous was nearly
full on Sautrday Evning we baptised 2 one of
them was the Indipendent Minister. thare
is others that think of going forward on
Tusday if all is well. Br Albunnswife and son will go forward soon. thare is much inquirry
here. if you have anny of the Book of Mormon
