Dear Brother:—

Enclosed you will please find the
semi annual report of this mission ending Feby 28^th

A number of the brethren of the different conferences are
now in new fields and are making fair progress. Others
will be instructed to follow, as their present fields cease
to yield more fruit and thus we hope to give all people
an opportunity of hearing the sound of the Gospel.

No serious trouble has attended the labor of the Elders during
the past winter, but just now the situation is becoming
quite stained in some places. The cause of which I attribute
to the fact of our approaching emigration. The Elders will be
instructed to use and excerise the greatest care to avoid any
difficulty with the people.

I have just had a circular letter printed, a copy of which you
will find enclosed, and will have them distributed among
the brethren. I trust it will meet your approval and have
a tendency to encourage the brethren in the labor before us
