I gave you an account in my last letter of my opening a new field in the South part of England, in Herefordshire, the work of the Lord has continued to roll on from the time I first commenced preaching in this part of the land untill the present time in a manner that I have never before seen it in these last days, it is not yet 3 months since I first lifted up my voice to preach to the people in this part of England a region which had not herd the sound of it before but now conta ins a Church of 500 Saints, with about 50 Elders & priests. about 50 of which were preachers of the orders of the day

their has been ^a notable^ miricle wrought upon one of the family Sister Mary Pitt was confirmed b[page torn] ^in bed 6 years^ years [page torn] & has not walked for 11 years ownly upon crutches Elders Young Richards & myself lade hands upon her & she was healed & now walks upright with out a crutch or staff. Signs are following the believer in this land.

The Lord is blessing me labours much in this land, be patient untill we meet again, you shall not loose your reward, for your reward shall be to stand with me in Zion with the children which God shall give us. & enjoy each others society with our children for one thousand years while Christ reigns & then to inherit the earth together to part no more. & enjoy far greater glories & Blessings than the present state of things can afford. I think this will a[paper torn] repay us for any sacrifice we can make for a few years. Pray for me that I may be humble in the midst of prosperity as well as adversity. I feel a great desire to do the will of God in all things. My prayer to God is that health & strength, grace & resignation to the will of God may continue with you & the children which God has given us unto the end. & Also that God will Bless Joseph & his councillors with means, wisdom, & power to do the work of God in Zion & her stakes. & that all the Saints may be Sanctified by a Celestial Law is the prayer of Willford Woodruff
