on such a journey we arrived in Nauvoo on the 13th of
April. We stoped at Keokuk for an hour and at
about 2 o'clock we started to assend the Rapids. In
about 2 hours we came in sight of the Temple and
the city of Nauvoo. I immediately got my spy glass
and took
A View in the Distance of the City
and Temple which to my eyes looked truly splendid
The boat stoped at Montrose and
then crossed to Nauvoo at the upper landing. I soon
got a waggon and took my friends to my house where I had
the happy privilege of again meeting my dear wife and
children who arrived only a few days before me having also
like myself had a long voyage accross the ocean being 9 weeks
and fourteen days on the passage
