Dear Brother:

Having changed my address you will please
forward all mail to me as above.

We have a baptism at Overland tomorrow, and I am happy to
report that we have nine applications for the same, and a
number of promising prospects.

We have baptized 43 person during the past six months.
Elder W. C. Clive met with quite a serious bicycle accident
about four weeks ago, which has di[s]abled him for about a
month forom performing any missionary labor, but is now al-
most well again and will go into the missionary field next
week.

The reports from all the ELders are to the effect
that they are holding meetings, and that they are treated
kindly by the peopie.

We are making a special effort to sell our church works
as we find that the people will read a book that they pay
for, whereas if it is given to them they are liable to lay
it aside and not read it.

We held a conference on June 19th and 20th in the city of
Denvsr and it seemed to have a very good effect upon the
people, and has been t[h]e means of gaining for us more friends
We will hold a conference in Pueblo July 17th and 18th.

We could use several more ELders to very good
advantage.

Praying God to bless you, and asking an interest
in your faith and prayers, I remain

Your brother in the Gospel.

John W. Taylor

Very good report. Has he
got all those he named
some time ago? Let us rustle
up a few Elders for Colorado,
as soon as we can. J. F. S.
