Day in the Life

Nov 28, 1840

Journal Entry

November 28, 1840 ~ Saturday

28th this is a gloomy day in London esspecially
to me, for the whole city is envelop'd in one of
the most dreary November fogs, which makes
the air so dark & heavy that a person can scc-
arcely See a rod in the streets at mid day.
I again had an interview with Josiah W Walker
88 Church Street, Mile end New town White Chapel
& he clearly manifested his true character
& the Spirit he was of. I lent him the Book of
Mormon & he has read it several days watching
for iniquity. He informed me he should publish
against it. I told him if he wished to do so to go
ahead as soon as he pleased. I found his argu-
ments against it were weak which hath been the
case with all men that have attacked it. I walked
out to see some of my friends in the afternoon
& I found the fog to be cold & chilly. I felt lones-
om in the evening. I have been in my room alone ever
since Elder Smith left me without any company as
it were [FIGURE] I recieved a letter to day from Lorenzo
Snow in Birmingham
