Your kind Letter of Aug 3
is before me & while waiting for our breakfast
this morning I will write a few lines in Answer
I find myself vary busy these days as all
the work that was upon President Taylor & Council
is now upon me to Dectate & Direct in
connexion with my Quorum of Council but the
Responsibility Rests upon me. There is 11 of the
Apostles now together including D H Wells
We held meetings yesterday & will to day from
10 o'clok through the day I do not pretend to go
to any of my family Asahel & Emma
visit me on business occasionally
^[FIGURES]^ Well Hop is dead, shot through the Heart yesterday with
4 Balls Died game as it is called called for Dinner Just
before He was shot flung segar out of his mouth Just
before the balls hit him The agony is over in this
world it is Just begining in the next you will see it
all in the D News
