The Deseret News reports news from Elder John W. Sharp, now laboring in Hickman County, Tennessee. "We learn from it (letter) that himself and Elder Argyle are doing a good work. A spirit of active inquiry regarding the principles of the gospel have been awakened among the people thereabouts, many of whom flock together to hear those two Elders preach.

The missionaries named feel much encouraged in their labors"
