St. Louis, May 2, 1855.

Elder Snow, Editor of the Luminary:

�

We traveled together until we arrived at New York City, preaching by the way wherever an opportunity offered. From thence, Brother [W. W.] Rust went to Boston, and I went to Tom's River, New Jersey, found the Saints enjoying much of the spirit of God. They number nearly one hundred, and are calculating to emigrate next season.

My labor has been in New Jersey and New York, with what success time will determine. I feel clear, and have obtained permission to return home, which I shall with joy, and not with grief.

May God bless and sustain you, is my prayer, Amen.

Yours as ever,

Thomas Colburn.
