Letter from Warren Parrish, 25 January 1836

Brother Joseph,

My great desire to be in your company & in the Assembly of the Saints where God opnes [opens] the heavens & exhibits the treasures of eternity is the only thing that has stimulated me for a number of days past to leave my house; for be assured, dear brother, my bodily affliction is severe; I have a violent <​cough​> more especially nights, which deprives me of my appetite, & my strength fails, & writing has a particular tendency to injure my lungs while I am under the influence of such a cough I therefore, with reluctance send your journal to you untill my health improves

P.S.

Brother Joseph,

pray for me, & ask the prayers of the class on my account also. [p. 142]
