LETTER FROM ELDER SHEETS.

Bradford, Yorkshire, England,

May 2, 1845.

DEAR BROTHER KIMBALL:--This is the first time that I have ever sat down in a far distant land, (or in my own native land,) to communicate my feelings to you, in the silent language of the pen. But whether it will be the last, time alone can determine.

A portion of this article not relevant to the LDS Church or to the New York City region has been omitted.'

We left New York on the first of August, 1844; there were Bros. Davis, Stratton, Maynell and myself, and we often wished that Br. Richards had been with us, but this was not the case--(you will give our love to him.) We had a very good passage over the sea.--We were a little more than twenty-three days on the ocean,--that is called a pretty good trip.

A portion of this article not relevant to the LDS Church or to the New York City region has been omitted.'

Please remember me and my brethren in your prayers, for we need them. Remember me to Br. Young and all the rest of your quorum; and also to Br. E. Hunter, and all inqiring friends. No more at present. My love to you and your family. With sentiments of high esteem, I subscribe myself your brother in Christ, &c.

ELIJAH F. SHEETS.
