Latter Day Saints' Messenger and Advocate/Volume 1/Number 4/Letter from Edward Partridge (July 4, 1834)
Liberty, Clay co. Mo. July 4th, 1834.
DEAR SIR:
Enclosed is a long letter which is addressed to no one in particular, but intended for the benefit of all my old acquaintances and friends who desire to read it. I wish you to read it first and then show it to others, as you have opportunity.
If I should live I expect to return to Painesville on a visit within a year, notwithstanding I have written in my long letter that it was doubtful whether I ever should return there.
I and my family are well; we have passed through many trying scenes since I saw you last, but it does not, in the least, move me nor shake my faith.
Please to give my respects to all enquiring friends.
With sentiments of respect I remain your friend and servant.
EDWARD PARTRIDGE.
DOCT. S. ROSA.
