Journal Entry

8th [FIGURE] I received one letter from Br Griffiths
& Elder Kimball 2, one from Elder Young
who informed us that the two Brethren
who went from Longton Lancashire to Nauvoo
to spy out the land had returned & was strong
in the faith. This is the coldest day & night that
London has seen for two winters & it is
also so smokey I cannot see but few yards
but as smokey & cold as it is we went to
the Tabernacle Square & I Baptized Sussanna
Album a daughter of an Independant preacher.
Elder Young says 500 Books of Mormon are
out of press & in the binding, we also con
firmed Sister Alburn 2 miles
