Thu Dec 30, 1852

Wrote a letter to Br. Winchester in response to his of the 29th, thanking him for his trouble in getting those things for us at Oahu. Employed in translating some extracts from the Book of Mormon; it is my delight to be doing something in the kingdom. In the afternoon received a letter from Br. Woodbury. He arrived safe, had a good passage over; did not get wet. He had a talk with Mr. Andrew, the priest over there; he did not fight against as some of them, said he would read the Book of Mormon. His wife was quite anxious to see the book. It ended as such meetings generally do. Answered Br. Uaua’s letter.
