By the kindness of Bro Pratt I have sent
20 pounds to my wife: & he thinks it will be the best
& safest to deposit it with you: inasmuch as you would be
likely to see her before you went west.
I therefore write this note to give you some
information where of her: she lives in Mansfield
hollow Tolland Co. Connecticut, she informed me that
you were in that neighbour hood last summer & preach^ed^ [preached]
at her Uncle's, Dan, Atwood's.
If you should not be passing through the neighbour-
hood would you have the kindness to remit the money
to her in some safe way: if you would do so I should
esteem it as a great favour.
I have been informed that there is several saints
going from that neighourhood west this spring
which made me think perhaps you would
pass through that way.
She stands greatly in need of the money
for I left her destitute & she has receved nothing from
me since I have been in England
Bro Pratt has said she might come to England
if she saw propper. I should not like to have her
come unless she could com with some of the Elders
that are comeing over
