I am keeping a country store on mine, and br Spaulding is farming, and is doing well, and wished to be remembered to you and your family…there is a chance for preaching here. There was a funeral here the other day and they would not have any one elder to preach but br. John. They like him very much. From your brother in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
