[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 13th I wrote A letter to Br David E Monroe Portsmouth RI. I recieved the Star of Nov 15th which was as usual interesting. I extract the following: (Just arived from the Invisible world Marlon Pratt--a large fat noble boy. He was introduced into this world on the morning of the 13 October AD. 1848. He has taken up his residence in a tabernacle of flesh & bones & may be seen at 15 Wilton street Liverpool. He brings no news from his brother & Sister spirits whom He left in his native world but if we were to Judge from the following letter, the spirit of Emigration must be greatly on the increase.) ED. "Sister White wife of Br Eli White was safely deliverd on the 17 inst of three Children two sons & a daughter All of whom with the mother are doing well."
