Journal Entry

April 09, 1846 ~ Thursday

9th A warm plesant spring day We left
the Ohio and entered the Missippi River
early this morning while Mother And Betsey
was writing letters home to Connecticut Father
Woodruff And myself diverted ourselves
by looking at objects through my spy glass
as we passed along little Phebe eat so many
nuts canday &c that she was quite restless
through the night And some Bowel complaint
but she seems cheerful to day while assending
the Missisippi one more towards Nauvoo
I rejoiced at the thought that A few more
days would give me the privilege of again
embracing my wife And children
