Nauvoo, Ill. June 1845

Dear Brother in the Lord:

Ever engaged in thinking or writing, I
have very little time to bestow upon friends,
but, with a holy desire for the Twelve, as
God's special ambassadors, for this generation,
I take a moment. I sent you "come to me,"
last winter, and shall send the "capstone"
by br. Fielding.

As I am a descendant of the "Royal
family," my forefather's name being 'Guelph'
till Cromwell expelled one to America, and
for propriety he changed it to "Phelps'. I have
a great anxiety for the salvation of Queen
Victoria and her posterity, as heirs of a
better and more lasting kingdom—wherein
the blood of Joseph will be exalted as
Kings and priests to God, and shall reign
with Christ upon the earth a thousand
years.

Every thing moves forward in the United
States as if Jehovah's wisest servants
were determined to usher in a day,
(with the co-operation of Jesus and his angels,)
of righteousness and peace; a day when
the children of Israel will be gathered home,
