P.O. BOX 103.

Chattanooga, Tenn., 188[9]

A company of Saints will leave here tomorrow evening
for different parts of Zion. They will number about 175.
I shall accompany them through and after seeing them
located will continue on to Salt Lake City, where I
shall be pleased to receive whatever instructions you may
have for me. A number of Elders will also accompany
the Saints, their places having been filled by the party of
seventeen who arrived here safely on Saturday morning.

On the first of the month I visited at his field of operations
the man whom we have employed to work up this case of
Elder Richards dissapearance. Nothing definite has been reached
as yet, but he is gradually following his clue's up and is
quite hopeful of success. I expect to hear from him before
I leave concerning a trip he was to make after I left him and
should there be anything of importance I will communicate
it to you.

I am feeling quite well as regards my labors my greatest
desire being to labor successfully for the Cause of God and
I pray to be strengthened and blessed to this end

I am exceedingly gratified to learn of your freedom as also that of
Pre^s Cannon and praying for your continued health and prosperity

I am Your Brother in the Gospel William Spry
