Could not get seasoned lumber, but they can go into the
house we mooved out of untill he can lay a floor in a room in
the new House & then they will comfortable. I left my family well
& in good spirits, my life & lot seems to be mostly in the vineyard
I left about the first of May in company with Elder
one of the Twelve, to attend the Conferences. I expect to meet with Elders
& at Ohio. Elders , ,
& are in the City of Washington with petitions
to Congress & preaching the gospel, we all have a general Conference there
of about a week in month of Sept. It has been a vary wet spring
in this western country, we have traveled most of our time since we
left home in the raine mud & water. We have held meetings in all
the large towns & villages on our route & delivered both religious & political
lectures & prejudice is giving way like a flood all through the Country.
we have held our Conferences thus far & had a good time. I am now in
the midst of the Comstock Branch of about 50 members & surrounded by about
40 Elders from Nauvoo & other parts as good spirits as ever breathed ready to open
a conference in a few minutes. Perhaps some of our friends abroad
think strange that we are engaged in political matters & running a candidate
for the presidency, but when they hear our reasons for thus doing they will
see we are fully justified. Our polittical lectures have done much good in
Breaking down Prejudice in fine the whole western world is open to investigate
our principle, & the kingdom is rolling on. I expect if Br &
is gone you are some lonesome, so if I pay you a visit now it
may fill up the vaccum of their abscence for a day or towo. I feel anxious to
see you again, But I must lay down my pen & go to conference.
June 3rd. Monday We have had a good time for two days past. we have had an
interesting Conference, their being 36 Elders present including the Twelve,
High Council, High Priests, & Elders, the work is progressing rapidly on
Every land. We had an interesting conference at Nauvoo {shorthand}
the 6th of April Before I left, the most interesting probably the Church
ever held. About twenty thousand persons were present & it
was judged their was three thousand Elders present, many Clergymen
of different Denominations attended. President Smith preach

presented great & glorious ideas to the mind of man. many Embraced
the work on that occasion.
