Dear Brother!
Excuse my boldness I write to you, telling you the feelings I got and that I ask you for advice. I am a member of the Church of latter the Saints and belongs to the church for some year ago, and have the testamony to gif to day, that the gospel is trueth and belive Josef are an true prophet, and as so, I wish to bee faitfull to the and if I cane. in my native country, I was on mission for three years, brefore before I come heir, and I know, I deed my best in my holy calling. Well, I got a great fait in all the prinsiples of the gospel. I do understand, and wish to keep the comandmens of God, my heavenly Father.
By full fait to the gathering of Israel I deed that all I was able for, and got means to come heir to the land of Zion. I fell I feel happy and thankfull to ^the^ Lord for that blessing; And I wish try to fullfield the matter I am coming heir for. I got my calling as a teacher heir in the ward I leave in.
Now I am coming to the point I am writing for: In the

last conference in Salt Lake City. You deed give out the proclamation to the saints: I advice the saints to not consent connections as is against the law of ^law of^ the united States. I believe that is all right, as long as the law of united States do not breach the comandmens of God, or the holy gospel the Lord has send to the earth.
From the first day I belongs to the cause of Truth, I had every way prayer to the Lord to get knowledge and power to any time be able for the celistial life. I ask and got your recommend for the house of the Lord, and deed take the edomends for me the 29th Aug. 1889, and is married to an good, young woman. i feel joy in consideration of that wi don the first steep on the celistial way, or wish and prayer to the Lord first the day soon will come I can bee worthy to get one wife more. The door lukes see closed of your proclamation and our equanimity are coverd in haze. Wi don't understand all tings yet, vi are young and need learnd. Wi are sorry, because I got a great genealogical record and some died friends vi will go to the Temple for, and three girls of them I like got sealed to me, for meeting togather in our restu resu resurrection as a housband and wifes. Les I has been teached that I cannot get them sealed

to mee before I got an secound wife, and the door is closed for mee, and the door is closed for them.
Mee and my wife has prayer to the Lord that Hee vill may open our eyes so vi kan se the way vi may go out frorm from that confusion, but vi don't understand His way for us. I got som dreams, and in one of those I deed hear an voice say to mee: poloygamy will turn back agein, but not before some great from the height will come at same time. The word was correkt those: "Mang gifte blifver i gan tillbaka igan, men icke forr an wagra store fran hajden kommer pa samma gang. (Swedish). Wi haave also think about to et try come toill Mexico (go out in the wilderness to servants the Lord,) vi will do all vi cane only vi cane get our crone [crown] in the Kingdom of Krist. Now I am going putty copiously, becouse you do not know mee, and I supose you will get hard to under stand that letter, ecsept you pray to the Lord first. I am not able in that languedge to tell you one-thousand part of my feeling. I wish you earnest and humble give me a little doctrin what for me to do.
