England are doing Exceding well & preparing wreaths of laurel
for their brows. I rejoice Exeedingly at the glorious
News we get from the South Sea Islands. also
the work is rolling on at South Australia we have
letters of late from those they have built up a church
& have sent to us for Books of all kinds. I am
expecting to furnish a Bell & Clock for the Temple
through the instrumentality of the Saints in this land
the work is rolling on in wales Elder Jones is [weary]
among the welsh Mountans, & has printed his work in
the welsh language all is going on well on every hand what
few American Elders their are in this land are thinking
most of them of leaving for Nauvoo this fall & winter
& I will be left almost Entirely alone If I can
hold my own & keep the Churches whare they are untill I can
get help I shall do well. The Lord has been with me
on this Mission truly & poured out his spirit upon me
in preaching & council for which I feel thankful
about 10 days since the Lord Blessed us with a fine Noble son which I Blessed on the 8th day & called his Joseph mother
& by doing well we all send our respects to you & sister
Grant & all the philadelphia saints I rejoice in the spirit of
these saints that God may bless you all with evry thing
you all need both temporally and spiritually is the prayer
of your brother in the Kingdom of God
