Autobiography Volume 2 circa 1865
On the I took the rail to New York City, New York County, New York
where I heard that T. D. Brown from Liverpool had waited a week to
see me. I found him at the hotel opposite Jersey city ferry
and spent several hours with him. He had paid the fare of many
families to Zion who went with Captain Dan Jones and Orson
Spencer and had sent on about 10,000 dollars worth of goods to the
Valley. He was known on the steamship as a Latter-day
Saint and the first officers of the steamer with the mates clerk
purser &c came to see him leave the city for the West
During the following week I travelled
daily from place to place ranging a distance up from 35 to
75 miles each day met with the Churches and cut off 4 from
the Church for committing adultery.
