March 25th I took coach & Rode to Hanly & stoped
with Br John Taylor I hear great report of war
all through the country against America, I
wrote a letter to Elder Lorenzo Snow, I had
an interview in the evening with Elder G. A. Smith
we met a large congregation of the Saints in
the Hanley Room Elder Smith first addressed
the meeting & I followed him after meeting
was dissmissed, many of the Saints went with
us to Br Taiylors & we spent several hours in talking
& I read the 11th No of the Star which was
Interesting, it contained an interesting account
letter from President Joseph Smith to the
Quorum of the Twelve in answer to some which
we had written him. I then walked to Br
William Box In Picickidelly street Hanly &
spent the night with Br Smith, I am happy
to learn that the work of the Lord is rapidly
prospering in these Staffordshire Potteries
& many are added to the Church.
