carousal.
Thus, dear broethren, I have given you an outline, merely, of the
field of labor which I consider the God of Israel has opened unto us
and which I consider the revelations of God require us to pefrform. I
think there is element sufficient for forty good, faithful Elders to
be employed to convert them to the Gospel of Christ and quite a good
number of missionaries called at the October Conference who can speak
the Spanish langyuage, or who will be able to learn it. I have al-
ready sent Brother a small list of names, including the In-
dian missionaries that are already in this country, as far as a I can
remember them, and if there are any in or soutthehern ,
or northern, who can speak the Spanish, or who will learn it, I woudld
like Brother Taylor to have them by the October Conference.
I am happy to be able to state that most of the settlers I have
visited of the Saints have been blessed with fair crops of grain,
notwithstanding the dry season. They were just finishing threshing
as I left . They will have over 3000 bushels of grain,
mostly wheat, and I am confiedent they will have over 4000 bushels of
Wheat at .
I have not written anything for publication concerning my journ-
eying to Lamanites or Nephites of late, thinking it would not be wis-
dom to publish anything about our labors among the American Indians
under the present state of excitement on Mormonism. I forwarded a
list of names in my other communication, as missionaries. I forward
a few more in this communication and those I send from here are most-
ly persons who have given in their names and willing to engage in the
mission. There were some incidents occurred on our mission which
were interesting to me and showed that the Lord was at work with and
carousal.
