Editor Garland Globe:
Some time has passed since wrote
you. I received the Globe you sent me
containing my last letter and In reply
thank you for It.. Thinking perhaps that
the wives Of the Band boys had forgotten
mo and think me lost, drop you a short
note to publish TO remind them and all
my Garland friends that am still alive.
have seen several places of interest
since wrote you and one long to be
remembered was that Of the feet. During
that week spent one Of the best times
Of my life with Supt. T. II. Edwards
and Charlie Edwards. Their kindness
can not and hope III never forget. They
were to me as a father. ate, slept and
enjoyed my self with them. We visited
the ruins of the Cliff House, spent
some time on the sea shore, also the
Sutro Heights park, the Golden Gate
park, Piedmont Park and visited among
the ruins of San Francisco caused by the
earthquake. l must say that II ever an
Elder Of the gospel could be treated by
friends that call to see them as was
by these Brethren they would be COM
PEELED to say "that was one OF the
plcsantest weeks they had spent In the
field" / was also royaly treated by
my other friends from Garland James
Jensen, John Olson, Geo. Clark, Route
Schwab and the Austin family and Anton
Lund Of Salt Lake, all who contributed
to my welfare in financial way and
was presented with purse of $1,000
which was appreciated I assure you.
Well now about the Gospel: am no
preacher yet. tried one night while at
San Jose to talk to small crowd on the
street corner-about a half dozen
people. They didn't seem to care about
hearing me. SO they left the street. SO
was up against It. The presiding elder
said keep going talk to that telephone
pole. Well l did. But 1t diden't make
any impression on the pole. He finally
came to tho conclusion l wasen't going
to stop so he pulled my coat tail and
said, "Its no use there won't any one
stop" Well while was talking 1t was
searious, but after II was over Il was
laughablo. There was talking to a
telephone pole. But was happy,
because was dscharging my duty
The work Is progressing slow here.
There are some fine people here. They
don't seem to be prejudice. but they are
indifferent and don't seem to care for
religion. have last month visited 106
families In tracking and out Of the 100 /
found three ladies that would stand long
enough to hear what ] had to say. And
ono out OF the three has invited me to
call some evening when her husband Is
home. She Is interested In the history
Of the Book of Norman and the origon
Of the American Indians.
We are holding three meetings on the
street week. am corresponding with
a friend In Montana whoes name and
address was sent me by his friend. /
have written him one Gospel letter and
sent him two Liahonas and am watching
a chance to send him another, have
also written Gospel letter to gentle
man In the state of Maine. So you see
how the time is spent out here. We
track from two to three days week and
the rest Of the time visit friends and
Investigators and Saints And on Sat.
urday we house clean and do our own
washing, You ought to see me leaning
up against wash tub and wash board
but / have to do 1t, need the money
and to send all your clothes to laundry
costs something. Well Wixom, | do not
want to take up all the space in the
paper. but guess have written enough
this time TO let all know that although
am not there In body / am in mind
