July 3rd In company with the Twelve I visited the
musiam at Manchester M England which was an interesting
sight to behold every kind of Beasts, Animals, fowles &
birds fish & evry creeping thing, serpents, & all things
that live on land or in the sea Also evry kind of fruit
& minerals ores & precious stones. we saw the greatest
Dimond in the world that has as yet ever been discov-
ered it was nearly the size of a goose egg, it cost
£122000000 one hundred & twenty & two million Lbs
stirling this was not the dimond itself but its represe
ntation in a cristol stone. I also saw one Animal
16 feet high. After spending several hours in visiting
this place I then visited the printing office of
W. R Thomas 61 spring gardens I saw them print a
form of the Hymn Book printed by the Latter Day Saints
