[MS 177]

Very Dear Brother,

We have received yours dated May 6th 1807 and an opportunity now presents itself of our writing to you; but we are sorry that the time allotted us for writing is so short that we are able to write but a few lines.
     During the year which is past we had but few additions from among the natives.  And we have been much tried by the corruptions which remain in many of those who have embraced the Gospel.  We need much grace to support us under these discouragement. -  It is our mercy that God does not entirely withold from us the influences of his Holy Spirit  - We have had several  Europeans, and Portuguese added to  our Church, during the past year, the greater part of whom give us a great deal of pleasure.  Altho we have met with many discouragements from without and from within, yet we trust God is strengthening our Stakes and lengthening our cords -  We enjoy peace and  tranquility among ourselves; and God seems to be opening doors for us to enter
