But I do not feel safe to stop with any of
my family. Though I did meet with all
of my family at the farm (who are in Salt lake
County) on Monday night March 1 being
my birth Day. Also Emmas. I being
79, & Emma 48 ^years of age^. It is the first time I
have seen my family together since the day
of the burial of my wife Phebe. But I left
all my family together at Emmas at
11 oclok ^& went^ to my present place of abode.
but No one knew whether I went. I have
not ventured to visit the Office since
the Raid. I see no special benefit
to the Church, my family, or myself in
going to prision if I can avoid it.
And that is what I am trying to do. I
have thought I would try to go and
see President Cannon sone might if I
could in safety. My General Health is
quite good considering my age with the
exception of a little trouble at times with
my watter works but nothg serious. But
President Taylor I do hope & Pray that you my
be protected from your Enemies and
kept out of their hands Pleas remember
me kindly to Brother Nuttall and those with you
Your Brother in the Gospl
