Few are left who were members of the church at that time, very few - they have gone , & trust to [purer] friends and to the enjoyment of (ink spot) [ fell??] happiness than can be had here. But I am glad to think of the many faithful brothers & sisters. who have come in from time to time to take the place of those who were faithful in his house. during their season with the great cause; and that the church and congregation present now so favorable our aspect. We have seen many changes with the Savior's cause in America (ink spot) [?my] the long years we have been here. Some seasons have been successful and very happy & others unsuccessful but the lack of success is always on our side and not on His.
