Journal Entry
August 06, 1839 ~ Tuesday
6th I still have the fever ague every other day. I in company with Mrs Woodruff rode
on horsback 4 miles west across the prairie into Brother Hawleys settlement to see our
babe Sarah E at Brother Smoots whare we had sent her for her health & also to look out
a location for a building sppot for my family while I am gone to England as the friends in that
neighbourhood offer to take care of my family while I am gone. And after spending a
few hours with them I took the parting hand with them & among the rest our little Sarah
shook hands with me I shall not see her any more untill I return from England. may
the LORD bless her I pray & preserve her in health untill I return that I may see
her in the flesh 6 m[iles]
