  • Notes  Married:
    • Letter written to Tryphena Bisbee Crandall, Utah Territory by Polly Packard Bisbee:
      "McDonough, N.Y. May 30th, 1841 Dear and affectionate child, we received your letter dated May 8th and was sorry to hear that you had not heard from us. We sent you a letter last July and also another in March and we wrote to you both times that we had not received any papers and I desire to know what the reason is that we do not receive them. I want you to write to Stephen and try to find out the cause of all this trouble. There hasn't been elders in this place since you went away. We know nothing about the church only what we hear in the newspapers and they speak quite well of them. Hiram stops fighting for me. Our health is much as yousial and I hope these few broken lines will find you injoying the same blessing. I am sorry to hear you was sik last summer but if you lov God it will work fore your good. You wrote that you had married a poor man I care not how poore hee is if hee is rich in faith and will keep all the commands of God with an I single to the glory of the same. then I think you can take comfort together. I want you to come and make us a long visit, both of you if you have faith anofe to come by water. Your father wrote to you if you would send word how much monny it would take to bare your expense he would send you same but I think it wouldnt bee safe to send monny in a letter as you dont get them. This is the third time that I have wrote to you less than a yeare and have been looking for a letter ever sens last fall from you. I began to think that you was all dead but when I heard from you I felt to thank the lord that hee had spared youre life and my prayer to God is that hee would prepare a way for us to see each other onse more this side of the grave. Note-(There is no signature after this abrupt ending, but the handwriting is that of Tryphena's mother, Polly Bisbee. The letter was folded and apparently sealed with wax, no envelope, but with this inscription: East Pharsalia, N.Y. June 10th Mr. Myron Crandal, Quincy, Adams Co. Ill.) July the 23-1843." -- Our Pioneer Heritage [3]
