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

Jackson an other poor widdow (sealed
to Jacob Hamblin) sends one dollar and 25 cents
to have her name recorded there. may
all the widdows send in their little mites
to help complete the house of the lord.
my prayer to our heavenly father
is that you may live to dedicate that
holy temple and as much longer as
you desire. from your sisters in
the gospel
