Dear brother Woodruff:

I received your letter of Jan^y.
174^th, and I can assure you that it was a great
treat to me. The news from the valley is really
glorious: The Lord is truly favoring Zion. I should
havinge written to you more frequently, but I have been
too busy to write. I expect to take the Steamer in the
fore part of March for Halifax and Boston. I am un-
certain as to the day of leaving Liverpool, but I thinke there
is a steamer which leaves on the 9^th of March. I
shall probably see you in Boston as I pass through. I will
bring the I eleventh vol. of the Star for you including the
pamphlets—the ninth and tenth volumes are not complete
Some nos. are lacking. I think Elder Orson Spencer
took the ninth and tenth volums bound for you.
I am glad to hear that you are going to get
all the saints you can out from the U. S. that
the book of Mormon may be fulfilled and that
the just judgments of heaven may not be stayed
from that guilty nation. I expect to get back again
to England in July. I feel very anxious to see the
gospel preached to all nations, and to labor with
my might until it is done. Therefore I cannot think
of spending much time in America. I am overjoyed
to hear that the some of the twelve with elders are on their
way to the nations. Bro. Kelsey has arrived in good health and

[sideways text] after me tell Sister Young and Kimball to write to me. Please write
to me as soon as you receive this and again, at the Bluffs, and again on your
arrival at the vally my love to you and yours
