<​October 4​> publications are on the increase, the duties would almost reprint the Times and Seasons and then we could do our advertizing on the last page, if thought advisable; we could afford it as cheap as the present Star, and pay you something for the privilege of publishing as well as to pay it to the crown, I have not yet learned the amount of funds remaining here subject to your order. I have not had much time as yet to enquire into those matters in consequence of the multitude of business in unloading our freight from ship board. The brethren that came with me wish me to say to those whom it may concern that they are well and will in a few days leave for their fields of labor. I shall write to you once a month, no preventing providence, and should be glad to have you write to me as often, and give me your advice and council relating to those things you in your wisdom may think beneficial to the Saints and emigration in this land. I wish would forward to me the amount of the number that will make the Volume of the Times and Seasons complete by the first opportunity; by so doing I can sell the 200 Volumes to advantage. I will try to forward to him what I can obtain for the Times and Seasons already here; if it should be thought wisdom to reprint the Times and Seasons here, I wish would be particular to send so that we could obtain them if possible, I am informed by that they have not received any intelligence from you since last February. I wish you would write me your mind concerning the printing immediately on the receipt of this sheet, so that our communication with the Saints in may not be stopped long. I am as ever your humble servant in the bonds of the N. E. [blank]. C. .”
