be so long without seeing my wives & Children
I pray for you evry day. It is the first time almost
in my life since I have been a man that I
have had a month of leasure I have wished
I could have spent a part of it with Asahel helping him do his work. I am Enjoying
good health, eat Herty & sleep well. I am at
home occasionally in my sleep, but wake
up in St George. I hope the Children will
go to school what they can this winter and learn all they can. How are those bees going to do this
winter. I expet they ought to be put clo[s]e togethr
on those stands and if thire was Room on
the Bench for those on the [east] bench they ought
to be put together. I want to have you write
to ^me^ evry week and I will answer. But I must
write some to the childre so I must close. I spend
my Evenings mostly with Presidet Young. I think
I shall visit him Enough this winter if I never
did Before. I am glad to hear from the
Children & that they are so well. Remember me
Kindly to Azmon & Elizabeth. I mean to write
to them soon. Good night God Bless you
