| 169 is expecting to remain in Manchester for a season, to assist in printing the book of Mormon. We have 3000 copies of the Hymn book just out of press, which is a good selection. I am going to visit the city of London in about 3 weeks if the Lord will, in company with Elders Kimball, and G. A. smith. We are determined to lift the standard in that City, the Lord being our helper. I remain as ever, Yours &c. W. WOODRUFF.
We are requested to say to all those living in the United States, who have communication by mail, with the following persons, viz: Brigham Young, Heber C. Kimball, P. P. Pratt, Willard Richards, Wilford Woodruff, and George A. Smith, to direct their letters, papers, and all communications, to 149, Oldham road, Manchester, England. "And should letters be directed to any other friends who are in England, whose names are not given in the above list, they can be forwarded to them from Manchester."-ED.
TIMES AND SEASONS
NAUVOO, ILL. SEPT., 1840
One more number closes the present volume of the Times and Seasons, and then, we shall have waded up through one year, with our little sheet under the most trying circumstances possible: the galling yoke of poverty on the one hand, and sickness and death and disappointment on the other but through the blessigs [blessings] of a kind Providence we have waded up, although we commenced without means, and without houses to shelter our tender families from the storm, or to provide for the wants of life. The causes our poverty, we will not attempt to enumerate they will be found in the great day of accounts, registered in the archives of heaven, in letters of HORROR, against the State of Mo. "Judgement [Judgment] is mine and I will repay saith the Lord," But under these circumstances, we have progressed until now and have received a liberal patronage, for which our patrons have our heart felt grattitude [gratitude].
The progress of the kingdom is such at the present times that it is impossible for our little sheet, published but once a month to keep up with the general news, that, which is of the deepest interest: inasmuch as the volocity [velocity] of truth is so violently rapid, that its paralel [parallel] is not on record; and the prospect grows brighter, and brighter; and the demand for general information is continually increasing: we have thought it wisdom to published the Times and Seasons Semi-monthly, (twice a month,) and in order that our patrons may be prepared, we give this timely notice, and that, the second volume of the Times and Seasons will be published semi-monthly, at TWO DOLLARS per annum payable in all cases in advance. Any person procuring, 10 new subscribers and forwarding us twenty dollars current money, shall receive the eleventh volume gratis. No subscription will be received for a less term than six months, and all letters addresed [addressed] to the publishers must be POST PAID, or they will not be taken out of the office.
All those of our patrons, who wish their papers to be continued will make remittances as soon as practicable, as we shall forward to none except those ordered.
The Gov. of Missouri, after a silence of about two years, has at last, made a demand on Gov. Carlin of Illinois, for J. Smith, jr. S. Rigdon, L. Wight,
