Feb. 7th.  I wrote to President Groo, in which I explained how these families, Chittendens and Mayberrys had been drifting about through the Australian Bush for seventeen years unable to migrate, yet had kept the Gospel spirit burning in their bosoms and were yet looking for a time when the voice of Elders and deliverance would reach them!  They are anxious to migrate and propose to save to that end, with all the economy and labor possible.
