Day in the Life

Dec 16, 1840

Journal Entry

December 16, 1840 ~ Wednesday

16 [FIGURES] I spent the day in writing, Br Williams
lef us in the morning for Bedford. At 7 o'clock
in the evening we repaired to a bath in Tabe
rnacle Square & we Baptized 4 persons &
we had a good time though it was cold weat
her & snowed most of the day the two
first Baptized was Mr & Mrs Morgan with
whome we have made it our home since we
first came to Ironmonger Row 40 St Lukes
the other two was Henry Corner jr & Christo-
pher Smith, their Apprentice. I rejoice in
thes things that the number of the Saints
increases in London, for it has been a hard
case & the work has been slow from the begin-
ing but I pray God that it may roll on from
this day forward [FIGURE] E I received an interesting
letter from sister Eunice Woodruff Farmington
Nov 26-28 she acknowledged the reception of
my two letters one of the Date of Aug 10th &
the other a long Mamouth sheet printed full of Nov
2nd which they received on the 27th making 25
days from time it was wrote, & I recieved theirs
in 16 Days. She spoke about the health of my fath-
er & family & other friends. It is truly cheering
to have good news from a far country & to hear
from our friends by letter
