Saints & walked to the great western Railway station
& took rail road for Bristol, & took my farewell of London
for the last time, we rode on the raill road to Wootton
basset. 80 miles I then took coach & rode 36 miles (the
Road was bad), to Bath which is the most striking
place to the eye of the travler I ever saw, the city
commences on the top of two mountains of high hills
& fills the valley between, the city is a vary Ancient
Antique looking place & vary quriously situated

12 miles. I called at No 12 Redcliff Cressent, Bed-
minster Parrish Bristol, whare I found Elder Thomas
Kington with all his houshold & also Elder Pitt they
