To the Friends in Northern Michigan

To the Friends in Northern Michigan.
To the dear brethren in Hastings, Vergennes, North Plains, Ionia, Portland, Fish Creek, and Windsor:—I am happy to inform you through the Review that I intend to visit you this Winter. This letter will save me writing several letters which I would be glad to write if I had time. My health has much improved since I have been at home laboring with my hands. When I ceased traveling in the Fall, my health was so poor that I had nearly given up the idea of being able to travel any more, at least to much extent. But the Lord has been very good to me, for which I feel to praise his holy name. I gave encouragement last Summer of visiting some of you this Winter, and of holding meetings in new places, in adjoining neighborhoods, where, in the judgment of brethren, good might be accomplished. If any of the brethren know of new places where it appears that the Lord is opening the hearts of the people more readily than others, will they inform me at Battle Creek, Mich., at the earliest opportunity. I expect to start out from home this week, to go west some seventy miles to lecture a few days, then on my return perhaps in ten or twelve days I hope to start north to the places mentioned, unless there should be new places open that I do not know of now, where good may be done. Battle Creek, Jan. 7th, 1855.
