Bro Carrington writes that he will not be able to remit any money to you for R Road fares as he is so far behind in money matters.

The weather is hot and dry now, and the streams are falling fast: My health is good now, and all seems peace at home except near Sanpete the Indians threaten to be troublesome, and have already killed one man.

With best wishes for your success in your labors this season, I remain

Yours in the Gospel
