23 [FIGURES] I recieved 2 letters one from Mrs
Woodruff & one from R. Hedlock I wrote
2 Letters one to Mrs Woodruff & the other to
Br Hedlock. Sisters Eliza (Coffin) Emms, Elizabeth
Daniels, Deborah Scammel & several others raised
a subscription of about one pound to get me a good
wescoat, so I started this morning at 5 oclock & walked
5 miles to Br Laudent to buy of him a peace of
black silk velvet as he manufactured the article he
took me to the master of the shop who showed
me the best peace he had which was in the Loom &
I had to wait for some of it to be wove in order
to get enough for a pattern Sister Deborah Scammel
cut & made it for me after returning home from
this place we called & dined with a brothers &
then went into the borough & called upon Br
Wm Booth & spent the afternoon & took tea
with a number of the Saints. Sister Booth was
totally blind & had been for two years which is a great
trial to her & the family we walked out in the evening &
attended a London singing school after which I
returned home with Br Davis deing quite weary &
spent the night whole distance of the day on the
pavements in London in a new pair of boots cost £1–3
which left me sore feet at night 25 miles
