Latter Day Saints' Messenger and Advocate/Volume 1/Number 10/Notices
—> To save any improper feelings among the servants of the Lord, we have to say, that want of space and time, have caused us to abridge & condense the letters which come in from the travelling elders, &c. And we take this opportunity of suggesting the propriety of brevity: short letters, containing matters of fact, are what we want, and what the saints need to build them up in righteousness. To worship God in spirit and truth, can be done without much speaking; and facts may be told in few words. P.
—> Brother Pliny Foot, of Norfolk, Litchfield County, Con. now in this place, wishes us to inform Bishop Partridge, through the Messenger, that he is desired to call on him at his residence during his tour to the east. In consequence of Br. Foot's not knowing where he can address a line to meet Bishop Partridge, we admit his request.
