I mentioned in my ^last^ letter to
you regarding the illness of Elder Thos.
Clayton who is laboring in Adelaide
So. Aus. His companion has since in
formed me that he is very low, being
irational and at times heavily
preyed upon by evil influences—
in fact it would seem that we might
hear of the worst taking place at
anytime. It appears that for some
time previous to his being confined
to his bed something weighed heavily
upon his mind by night and by day.
