March 28, 1876 - Nottingham, England, to (Salt Lake City); Young, Arta D., to My Dear Father (Brigham Young). Writing to tell his father of progress in his missionary work and of the welfare of the Saints. President and Mrs. George L. Farrell have been very kind to him. Baptisms are good, but he hopes for more. Tells of plans for a continental tour with Brother Carrington and family and thanks his father for this privilege. Tells of the faithfulness and sacrifice of the Saints there. Has urged all Saints to go to Utah. Hopes his father's plans to immigrate the poor will be successful. Tells of the health and welfare of the missionaries there. August 6, 1876 - Liverpool, England, to (Salt Lake City); Young, Arta D., to Dear Father, President Brigham Young. In answer to his father's letter where problems had been discussed. Assures his father that Brother Carrington does not drink any strong drinks and keeps only the best of company. His father's letter has made him feel blue and he feels it would be best if he were now transferred. Acknowledges the fact that he has smoked and drank tea and coffee, but he alone is to blame. Will try to do better as he knows the gospel is true and will try to live it. Hopes his father gets over that dreadful affliction rheumatism
