Mt. Idaho Aug 22th 1892
Kate dear Sister
Only a tiny little bit of a note tonight about Enoch. I had a letter from him dated Aug 17th.
He did not know where Miss Kate was to write to her so he wrote to me. Bartholomew had
been to Kamiah, and when he came back went that to Enoch. And with himckash
talauzahtimt got the church key from Enoch to get his Mathew out of the church to
take on the hunt with him to study he said. When he got the key safely in his hand he told
Enoch "the church would be locked always now" that it "should be locked
until Synod." That now they had sent a letter to Synod and he pocketed the Church key
and took it with him on the long hunt & so Enoch or no one at Meadow Creek can get
into the church. Write to [him] Enoch to stay at Meadow Creek, &
preach in his own house.
They (A & Co.) will want to have him stop preaching himself, and leave his charge.
Try & head off their paper to Synod. Perhaps Archie will go to Seattle to push matters
or see or send the paper too Woods, at least. Do all that you can, Woods
ought to know at least this last act of Bar-s & what Enoch wrote you about Archie who
Enoch thinks & says is the mover of this key. Why dont you
write me? There has been time enough for a letter, and none has come. Tell me everything.
Do all you possibly can to help Enoch & Meadow Creek.
May God give you wisdom & grace & strength sufficient & guide you by His Spirit prays

Have who you write to understand clearly that all the Indians say only two elders
are against Enoch all the church members for him. Luke Williams said Miss Fletcher
was coming to Mt. Idaho soon. Is she? Tell me when if you know. Give her and Miss Gay my
best love. Write soon
