29th I walked from Mr Babbadge to the top of the rock
our former place of retirement for Prayer, it was a
plesent morning the sun shone upon the waters with
the briliantsy of a summers day my meditations were
sweet although alone after surveying the Islands & sea
a few moments I plucked a handful of fir from a tree
and lade it under the pine (whare I had often prayed
in company with Elder J H Hale see Sept 5th) I kneel
down upon the fir (to keep off from the snow) and offered up
the gratitude of my heart unto God I went my way rejoicing
to Mr Charles Brown whare I found a number of Saints
of one accord in one place and PHEBE with the rest. I
was rejoiced to meet with them. I Preached to a large
congregation from Ruth 1st ch 15 16th we had an interesti
ng time several offered themselves for Babtism I spent
the night at C Browns distance of the day 8 miles
