I wrote a letter to Br & notifyed
him to attend a conference in on the
14th inst. We walked to here
we beheld a large fire it commenced at 10 oclock in
the morning it was mostly extinguished when we
saw it, two large brick buildings had burned downed
it snowed & was vary cold many thousands were
gatherd together on the occasion. We next went
to the near at which place all coppy wright's for
Books of all Kind's ^are secured^ Elder made inquiry
concerning securing the coppy wright of the
Book of Mormon or what would be required
& we were correctly informed that all that
was required was five coppies of the Book
& two shillings in money, or three shilling if
we had a certifficate.
We next called
at 46 Charlotte Street upon Mr

the dimentions of them thinking to get them fraimed

three persons to hire a preaching room viz Dr

James Albon wished to make Elder & myself
a present of a nice quilt frame of his own work-

It gave me pain while pass-
ing through the streets of this cold day to
see poor women & esspecially little children freez-
ing nearly to death without food, fire, & but little
cloathing but begging for a morsel to eat 10 mil
