15th
I walked from Turkey Hall to forty Green
I wrote a letter to Lady Roberts a companion to
Lady Dowdswell, & sent it to her by the hand of Sister
Brooks. Lady Roberts is of the Nobility, a Lady of
wealth, of Rank, has at her command the Languages
has withdrawn from the Church of England & has travled
much in search of truth, & looking for the fulfillment
of the ancient Prophets, she became acquainted with
the fulness of the gospel through a female servent
in the employ of Square Dodwdswell which I had Baptized
& as soon as she began to investigtate the subject
the Spirit of God rested upon her & convinced her of the
truth of the work & she obtained the four finumber
of the Millennial Star which we had printed & fearing
she should not be able to obtain them she copied the
whole of them of with her pen She red the Book of mormon
& coppied a part of that in the same manner. She
became perfectly convinced of the truth of the work
& said she would go a thousand miles but what she
would see some of the Twelve & be Baptized under
their hands & hearing that I was in London she was
about to take a Journey there to see me & the other
Brethren & Be baptized. She will not inform any of
her relatives or rank of her intentions untill she is
Baptized thinking she will then have more power
to commence her testimony & warning among those sitting
in high places. She has two Brothers ministers of the
Church of England. After sending her an address by
letter, she returned me a virble answer by Sister
Brooks thanking me kindly for the interest I manifested in
her welfare, saying she should address me by letter in
few days. I then walked to Haw Cross & preached &
spent the night at Br Smiths 5 miles
