M. F. Farnsworth. St. George 14 Oct 1882. Prest Wilford Woodruff, My Dear Brother. Although I have not written to you for a few weeks. Yet I have not forgotten you, but seemingly I have hardly had the time, and as I knew Bros McAllister and Bleak were writing, they have given you all the news. I have nothing special of a local nature. myself and family are well as usual. We are trying to live the Gospel and have peace ...

fall or winter. And hope you may be able to visit us. All is peace with us, and a general time of health, except colds &c which are prevalent this season of the year. I enclose a letter to Prest. John Taylor in regard to my financial matters. I have been impressed to do this, seeing no other way out, only to sell the lot, which would let me secure my home to my family, for I have struggled hard to do this, as you are aware of the location ...

the brethren and sisters from the North, sent here to labor this winter, are diligent in their studies, and are taking hold in earnest to learn their duties and callings as laborers, and it would be unwise for me to express an opinion as to their capabilities at this early date, even if I were authorized to do so.

That the Lord will hasten his work ...

John Taylor Dear Brother, I feel impressed to write to you, relative to my finances, at the time I secured my home when Elder Milo Andrus was leaving this place, I borrowed money, all of which I have not been able to pay. There will be two hundred and sixty Dollars due next April, and I do not rest comfortably when contemplating this matter, as I do not see my way to meet it. There has a thought suggested itself ...

lot, for the sum of Two hundred Dollars. Prest. Woodruff is well acquainted with the location. Would feel better in selling to you than any one else if you felt disposed to accept it, and it certainly would lift a load from my mind, feeling grateful to you and the brethren for past kindesses. I am as ever your brother in the Cause of truth. M. F. Farnsworth ...
