Brother has been terribly exercised
over emigration matters, and his letters are full of descriptions of the anguish
which he has suffered in consequence of the attempt to change the route. He seems to
think that our attempt on this side to do business is a reflection on him, and that
we have not that confidence in him that we have had in others at the same place. I
hope will write fully to him on this subject and keep him thoroughly advised, as
a good deal of the feeling that he has is due, we think, to misapprehension.
The health of Brother is very precarious.
We visited him last night and administered to him; but the description that we got
from his wives of his condition and urine is really alarming. However, we exercise all
the faith we can, and shall struggle for him to be spared to us. The presence and la-
bors of such men are of exceeding value to us.
It seems that the Receiver is determined to get pos-
session of everything that ever belonged to the Church, and they are pursuing their
work with great vigor and an apparent determination to strip us of all they can.
We are having delightful weather at the present time,
and the health of the people generally is good. With love and praying the Lord to
bless you and preserve you from the hands of your enemies,
We remain, Your Brethren,
Wilford Woodruff
