Summary
Thanking him for the contribution from the Salt Lake City Penny Missionary Box toward his missionary work; saying he expects to be in Salt Lake City in the fall "to take direct superintendence of our work there. I am needed there. Owing to the avoidance of Salt Lake by the Pacific Rail Road & to Brigham's interdicting his followers from trading with other than Mormons, many Gentiles of Salt Lake have left for the R.R. towns. Hence our local support moral & pecuniary is much diminished, & I am needed in the capital of Mormondom to lend such help as I can give to our work parochial & educational, both branches of which , please God, I shall continue to prosecute vigorously;" relating news of "two disastrous fires here. One consumed 200 buildings. but with most astonishing recuperative energy this town, in less than two months time, is almost entirely rebuilt. We have also had two severe shocks of an earthquake;" asking that he tell Mr. Foote that "a Montana grand-nephew is born unto him."
