Dear Brother, in christ. I have just
Recieved your leter having date Jan the 21
we felte glad to hear from you, and to
know where you was, and that you was
well. I should Ritin before if I had know
whare you would have been, you did not tell
me whare you would be. I Expected you
would go back to Manchester, you shall
have all the news that we have of importan
last sabath I went down to Woolwick and
preached to them on the Sabatt, at the same
place whare I did before. thare was sevrel
come to hear, there was 2 or 3 thaught they
should be baptised when I come down ag
ain. I administered the sacrement to them
and acording to the desire of the members
and I was led by the spirrit I ordain
John Griffith a presast. he seames
to be a wise man, and a good man. they
are going to guit a hous to preach in then
I shall go down again, next week if
all is well. Woolwick is a greate place it is
the depot of England or Europe, thare is
great menny soldiers thare. thare Barricks
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 Extenssive ^duck yard^ thare
is three thousand men imploied, fisting fore
ware, fifteen hundred of them are convicts
a miserable set of being, as I Ever saw
it is not so dence populated as London
but here and thare, and Extends here sevrel
miles. I wish you could spend 2 or 3 days
thare, you would be delited. thare is quite
a stur thare more then thare is is london
thare will be menny that will come in if
the brethren can guit a hous, the Docter
spends much of his time 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 inquiry, things
seames to be quite favourable. we are going
foreward to night to baptise, some I will let
you know how many on mondy 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 Sartuday 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 Albunns wife and
son will go forward soon. thare is much inqirry
here. if you have anny of the Book of Mormon
bound, we should be glad that you would send
us a few, as there is some cales fore them, and we
would be glad if we could gu^i^t feew hymn
Books. we have only 2 or 3 hymn Books here
we remember wright fore you to send us some
we sent 2 or 3 leters to Parly to send us one of
the 8 Number of the Star and could not guit it
till I sent to Joseph Brother Brotherton
to send us one. afterLast Sartaday, thare was a
little bundle come to us by canal, containing 4 or 45
stones which cost us 2 shilling, 2 or 3 of Brother
Tailors pamphlets, if thare had ben 50 it
would not cost Enny more, as you say it
taks all of the Books to keepe him he might
give us a tast now and then. we donot wish to
grumble much, only once in awhile fore sas
we both wish to be Remembered to Elders Richard
and Tailor and to your self, and all of the Saints
we thank you fore your good and kind feeling torrds us.
may god bless you fore Ever is the prair of your Brethren in ^Chris^
