27^th [FIGURE] I wrote a letter to Phebe sent by the hand
of Sister Elizabeth Ravenscroft I also wrote
a letter to Sister Elizabeth R. We attended a
tea total meeting (or temperance) at the Temperance
Hall in St Georges Road near Elephant & Castle
South London. By request of the committy I address
ed the meeting upon the subject of Temperance & was
followed by Elder Smith we gave out an appointment
to preach upon the gospel at the same place on the 7^th
of Sept, we are making evry exertion to find some
saints or those who are willing to obey the gospel
in this city of London But as yet our searching
has been in vain, Priest & People are all Bound up
in Bundles of tradition there Bands are made strong
& the whole city is given to whoredoms & all man
ner of wickedness & is ripe for judgment. Still
we are determined to spare no pains but to search
dilligently that we may seek out the honest in heart &
the meek of the earth
