Abstract:
Informing Gano that he has "constituted three Churches on the foundation of the appostels and prophets." Believes the movement is growing, but notes the people's poverty prevents them from supporting a preacher. Worries about getting enough money to support himself and has written to the "Brethren at the state meeting" to appeal for aid. "...I have no prospect of getting money for my years preaching to get me a decent suit of clothes for winter." Disappointed that Gano did not respond to his earlier letter. The money the Brethren are spending and the high number of preachers who can "ride in there fine buggys." Asks Gano to pray for him. "I conclude the Brethren did not feel willing to contribute any thing last spring to help get me a horse, and that you have burnt my letter."
