Day in the Life

Oct 8, 1844

Journal Entry

October 08, 1844 ~ Tuesday

8th I spent the day in Boston I visited John Hardy
And a number of Saints who appeared much
affected with the improper conduct of several Elders
who was travelling through their midst I think I done
much good In visiting them It is a critical time
now through out the eastern churches, And men
need wisdom in order to keep things strait.
I Attended the opening of a long discussion between
G. J. Adams & O. Bachellon at the Marlbury Chapel.
It was a kind of a monied scheme. I returned to
Br Phelpses and spentt the whole night in writing
a long [FIGURE] letter to Elder B. Young giving an account
of the critical state of the churches in the Eastern
cities &c
