I feel disposed to fill this page in expressing my feelings unto you upon the great plan of Salvation, sumthing of my present expectations & an account of the work in this Land. When I take into consideration the day & generation in which we live even in this last dispensation & fullness of times, the awful calamity that awaits the gentile Nations of the present age, The Allmighty work of God that is to be accomplised before the Comeing of Christ, the esstablishing of Jerrusalem in her power, & Zion in her glory, the pruning of the vineyard once more for the last tine, & form some small view of those greater misteries & glories of the Celestial Kingdom which are not lawful to be w[ri]tten & are yet to be revealed, & having a dispensation of the gospel committed unto me in common with my Brethe which is ^to^ accomplish the great work of God which he has set has hand, ^to do^ I say when I comprehend these things I do not summon words that God has call us to make such great sacrafices in these last days, I now see the greater the sacrafice the greater the crown [FIGURE] The ancient Saints of God have been called to make great sacrifices that they might comprehend a Selestial Glory, then if we enjoy the same glory we are called to make a sacrafise also, & have we not done it, yes verily we have equal to any people that ever lived according to the tine we have been a people, or church of Christ I cannot make a greater sacrafise than the society of my wife & family ^children^ but notwithstanding this sacrifice is of of the keenest kind to my wife as well as myself yet does my Bosom friend in her heart ever for a moment wish me to scease doing the will of God, or in the least to tarnish our future & eternal glory, or to dim our crown of rejoicing in the day of the Lord- Jesus No I will not for a moment believe it. Then my Dear friend & companion still continue patient untill my return which will be as soon as is the will of God though we are seperated a few days here yet we shall reign & live together 1000 years with the children which God shall give us & also with our Lord Jesus Christ & we shall also enjoy each other society in a Celestial Kingdom to part no more

The work of the Lord is rolling on swiftly in this land & the present signs are that the gentiles will spedily be warned. Already are there thousands rejoiceing in the New & Everlasting Covenant in England, the standard of truth as an ensign to the people is reared up in the largest cities of Scotland, & Saints rejoicing therein The warning voice is spedily to be heard in the City of Belfast Ireland, The cry is heard in Wales come & preach unto us Already ^has^ ^has^ the fulness of the gospel started upon the wings of the wind & the Bellows of the deep by the hand of an Elder of Israel to the east Indies, This vary day a gallant Ship spreads her sail at London into which Elder William J. Barret enters as his Ark to convey him in safty to South Australia to proclaim the everlasting gospel to that far distat people Notwithstanding he is but 17th years of age he is clothed with the power of the Priesthood the revelations of Jesus Christ, of the spirit of his mission. Notwithstanding he has this day left his native country & started on his voyage of 16000 [10000] miles yet he is filled with rejoicing & his soul is made glad, which is fully manifest in a letter which has just reached us from his hand exhorting us to be faithful & pray for him declairing in the name of God that he will return to Zion bringing his sheaves with him, he has taken our addresses in England & president Joseph Smithjr in the U.S.A. & sayes he will write to him after he esstablises his mission. he was raised up in the church at Stafford Shire Potteries. Thus you see the gospel is winging its way with the rapidity of lightning throu ghout the wor[l]d. Thus you see by the help of God we are laying the foundation of a mighty work throughout the European wor[l]d & other Islands of the Sea.

I pray my heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ to hasten the day when Ephraims Nobles will be of himself & his Gover[n]our procede out of the midst of him & Judah rejoice & Israel be made glad, & Judah Jerrusalem be rebuilt upon her own heaps, & Zion become the joy of the whole Earth. Roll on O ye little stone cut out of the mountain without hands. untill ye become a mountain & fill the whole the whole Earth
