[2]3rd It is an exceding hot day as was yesterday. Twelve years
[a]go I brought the Gospel to this Island in company with Jonath
an H. Hale I spent a year upon this Island and baptized near
a hundred persons and took about 60 persons with me & my
family to Quincy I found the Saints fleeing before their
persecuters out of Missouri and settelled in Ill. Since I was
upon this Island before, I have crossed the Atlantic four times
[a]nd traveled in all about 50,000 miles and I now find my-
[s]elf treading this soil again to visit the few remaining Saints
[t]hat they may be gatherd to Zion
