Note from Bro. Canright.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

AFTER parting with our dear brethren and sisters at Medford, Minnesota, we came home to Monroe, Iowa, and sold our place, household stuff, &c., retaining only my library, and what things we can carry with us from place to place.

For nearly four years, Monroe has been our home, where we had hoped to stay much longer. It seemed sad to break up, and leave our dear friends, and associations there, with little probability of soon, or ever, seeing them again. But this has been our lot for years, and probably will be till the Lord comes. We feel now that we shall never buy another home, but live as it were, in our trunks and satchels, ready to move at any time.

We left Monroe, July 14, and arrived at Bro. White’s, near Black Hawk, Colorado, the next Friday. We found them very comfortably situated—free in spirits, much improved in health, and greatly enjoying this quiet retreat. Have been with them now about two weeks. Excepting a little labor at the Medford Camp-meeting, I have done nothing in preaching, writing, or studying, for about two months, on account of poor health. Since coming here I have improved quite fast, so that I now feel pretty nearly well. I have strong hopes that it is the will of the Lord that I shall entirely recover my usual health. Hope now to soon be able to commence labor again, working into it as I find my strength will bear.

We shall not soon forget our many dear friends in the East. We ask to be remembered by them in their prayers, and shall be very glad to hear from any of them frequently by letter.

As our expenses are necessarily very heavy this summer, our friends who are owing us for books and papers will oblige us very much by sending it to us by mail as soon as consistent. Our address, till further notice, will be, Black Hawk, Colorado.
