Your very wellcome letter I have recei-
ved and I am thankfull for the news con-

short account of my missionary life up to

Metropolis. from there I went to Essex, and then
to Leeds, Bradford, and Hull. I[n] all places I

day Work, and have had good times together with
the saints, which I have found to be a good peo

better than America in that respect that
