Dear Husband:

Our forenoon meeting has closed. Brother Butler preached well—plain and pointed. I then spoke a few minutes, presenting the dangers of the men who were wealthy and were doing nothing. I brought the matter to bear upon them in such a manner that they were touched. They [have done] a very trifle when they should have done hundreds. The conference is in debt some hundreds of dollars.
