The Saints seem anxious to swell the capitol of
the Joint stock company. Brother Hedlock
informs me that a Brother Russell of New Brunswick will have a new ship
of 650 tons burthen ready for sea by
next october, & he will take near
half the value of it in stock.
So you see the Lord works when we
work, & who can hinder, yester day
I had a letter from CaptJones of Wales he says he has had some dificulty
with Brother Renshaw, he sought to exalt
himself & apposed Brother Jones, & tried to
turn the saints against him, but he got
himself into poor picking, Brother Banks
was sent for, & the Capt came of victorious,
I am going to Luton next week to settle
a quarrel; in the church; I dread the job;
I hope the Lord will help me.
I had a letter from MrTuttle of Fair Haven a
few weeks since, he seems friendly and
gave me considerable information about
things in Connecticut. If you can prevail on
the Lamanites or any body else to carry letters
back after you get started. Please remember
there is an anxious eye in London longing for
a letter from the wilderness
