As was the last day of my time on shore I was determined to make some settlement of my affairs before going on board of the ship and this I had found hard to accomplish. Elders Ward and Hedlock had so much business of their own to do that they had done but little to help me in the settlement of mine and what they should have done had been put off by them to the last minute. This made it very hard for me. I had to pull along alone and none to help and Elder Ward especially had manifested great indifference and neglect towards me. However I struggled through it by the help of God and also overthrew a design to partly rob me of the little means I had This design I had every reason to believe was concockted by Mr James the Printer and a professed friend standing near me in office and interest. But I succeeded this day in effecting a final settlement and the statement showed that I left the printing department of the Church with property in excess of debts
