The weather continues very fine, very dry but cool and pleasent the grass is all drying up for want of rain. I am happy to State that we had divine Service to day at our tent, preaching by Mr Spreg the Number of attendance was about 30. It is our intention to prepare a place expressly to hold religous Meetings every Sabbeth in a grove near our Tent. We trust it will be the means of drawing many there who would otherwise be drinking Gambleing and carousing all the day. It is our prayer that good will be done here in the wilderness in the name of the Lord nothing is impossible with God.
