permanent. The preaching of the First Presidency has been soul
[s]tirring indeed. We may safely say in a measure that such sermons
were never heard before, as have been delivered unto us of late by the
prophet of God, and they are weighing the people, and the people feel
that they are dealing with the quickening spirit and power of
God which discerns and knows their hearts and they feel the importance
of repentance and baptism for the remission of sins and leading holy
lives before God that we may be prepared for the events which await
the whole earth. In some of the settlements in Davis County every
one has gone forward and been re-baptized, and we anticipate the
same results will follow in G. S. L. County.

Sep 20. Elder Peterson's company of Danes arrived.

Elder S. M. Blair and company returned from exploring a
route to Carson valley, report no feasible route westward. Hon. E. Reese
arrived from Carson with the same report.

The weather has continued fine and must of the corn not
injured by early Frosts will have time to mature.

On the 10^th inst we moved into our new office opposite
Prest. Youngs buildings, and have much cause to be thankful for
the superior accommodations we enjoy.
