Dear Brother Woodruff
Perhaps you will not remember
me, I came to this place in seventy nine
and shortly after you made a
visit here just after your great
hunt with the Indian chief Petone
I heard you tell about it. I met you
many times before at Brigham City
and Sunset.
But it was not to tell
you this that I am writing, I desire
to have my name recorded in the
great house of the lord. I am old, and
poor, and ten years a widdow. I
have gathered enough to make a dollar
(I heartily wish it was a thousand.) I send it
direct to you, will you be so kind as
to invest it some way, that my name
may be recorded there. Also Sister
