Letter to Elder Woodruff in England-- This letter from the Quorum of the Twelve to Wilford Woodruff in England is more informational than instructional. It appears here and in all printed sources however in an abstracted form. The original is in the files of the Church Historian's Office. For additional background see: DHC 7:373; RCH 2:73-74; Brigham Young, the Man and his Work by Preston Nibley, p. 63. (Future references to this last source will be by the following abbreviation: BY-Nibley)
PRESIDENT YOUNG'S LETTER to Elder Woodruff in England It will rejoice your heart to hear that we have a remarkable mild winter, clear and pleasant, no snow, and peace in the city, as it does ours to live here and enjoy it. Though the papers report a total repeal of the Nauvoo Charter by a large majority in both houses, we remain undisturbed, the city affairs go on as usual. We expect to appeal to the U. S. court.
The stone is nearly hewn for the Temple; a stone font is about to be erected, the woodwork is progressing rapidly under a temporary roof in the basement story, and we hope to commence the endowments next fall or early in the winter. We will not send many elders to England until after the endowment.
You will please call at Stationer's Hall, London, the first opportunity, and get or by some means procure a copy of the "copyright of the Book of Mormon" and safely keep it until further notice. The saints are more engaged than ever to finish the Temple, and it is desirable that tithings be forwarded from all branches at the earliest safe conveyance.
The different quorums are becoming perfected in their several organizations, by which means the elders are learning their duty. Union, love and peace were never more universal among the saints at Nauvoo, than at the present time. Brother Willard is convalescent, collecting materials for history and much regrets the absence of Elder Woodruff's Journals. {1845-February 11-DHC 7:313} (5)
