Jan 13th I took Breakfast & went on board of the Oxford
& found the passengers taking their trunks & goods
on shore to go to the costom house to be exa
mined & I found it to be a scene of the
greatest confusion I ever past through
but after much jaming crouding
& mucking about we were permited
to depart with our things after paying
16 pense per lbs for all the Books we had
as duty upon them. The trunkman then
took our trunks & Boxes to Mr
George Cannon Norfork Street No 43
he was a Brother in Law of Elder Taylors
we deposited our provision chest & a
box containing our bed & beding wi-
th him. We took our trunks
& went to the rail road depo & their
took a car for Preston Lancashire
England & for the first mile the cars run
under ground on a track that was cut
out of a solid rock while their was building
& inhabitants over our heads [FIGURES] {victory to the crown}
We started from Liverpool about 6 oclock &
arived in Preston about 8 oclock & called at
Brother Greenwoods they immediately sent
for Elder Richards & in a few moments
I had Elder Willard Richards by the hand &
I truly rejoiced to once more behold
his face. We immediately went to
his house & after spending most of the
night in conversation we retired to
