Letter to George Albert Smith, 18 June 1844
R. Oak Elder Smith, I have wrote anothr Letter to Mrs. Woodruff which I send By Br Dunn I have put some money in it for the Times & Seasons & a little for herself I wish you would tie the letter on to the Bundle that I put in your trunk I sold Mr Cooper my other Times & Seasons for five Dollars. I want a favor of you when you get whae Br H Brown lives I want you to get some odd No of the Old Messenger & advocate that he has on hand, get the 11 & 12 No's of the 2nd vol, and as many numbers of the third 3rd vol as you can get. I have got all the first vol & to the 10th of the 2nd but lack most all of the 3rd vol & as I dont know the odd No lacking of the 3rd vol if you should make out the whole of the 3rd vol it would not do any hurt & I will make it right with Br Brown W. Woodruff Br Smith I am now in Detroit, have Been to the post Office & not one letter for any body. I have Been to see the man that Br Phelps sent the letter to about the clocks He said he would go down to the warehouse & see about it. Said the Box of clocks was shiped on & supposed evry thing was sent, it was Nothing to him asked nothing for storage, had paid several postage on letters on the subject & would still see to it. Their is no meeting to night in Detroit could not get a Roof room. Their is no boat in, that is the opposition is not in & ^if^ they dont come I shall have to pay full fare ie $3 Deck, $7 cabins this will be about my luck the opposition has broake dow[n] & it is enough to break anything down for me to wa[n]t a passage. I dont expect to go out to night at all. good By May the Lord Bless you W. Woodruff
