TENT OPERATIONS IN THE WEST.
By J. H. Waggoner
I WISH to make a statement for the consideration of the friends of the cause in the western field. It is well known that the Tent now in Iowa is unfit for use, and that if anything is done in that State with a Tent, a new one must be procured. I expect to start for Indiana in a few days, and have been requested to spend next season in that State. I have also been requested to return to Iowa in the Spring. In either case I am desirous of getting a Tent, as one is needed in Indiana. I have no choice in the field, but am willing to go where it is thought best; but if a Tent is procured for either State, something must be done immediately by the friends who have the means to aid. It would be much better to order our Tents made, as they might be improved for our use, but in order to do this it must be done soon. As I shall be traveling, I will request those interested to correspond with Eld. James White, Battle Creek, Mich. Burlington, Mich., Jan. 12, 1858.
