2 men &with G. A. Smith & I ordained one man into the 27 Quorum
of 70s By the Name of Pelique B. Jolly. While ordaining him
one of Daniel H. Wells Boys was run over by a waggon in front
of the office which I say it run across his body & legs it hurt his
Back but broke No bones. Robert moved my sugar mill down to the
farm to day & Wilford drew sand & Adobies. President Young said
on sunday night Sept 23 to Orson Pratt & Erastus Snow now if
you want to go to England go or any whare Els whare the spirit may
send you. your mission is in all the world & if you find any man in
the United States who is wanted in England or any other part of the
vineyard send him there No matter whare a man is sent he is
under the direction of the Twelve & they have a right to send him
to any place whare the spirit may direct. I[n] conversing about merch[an]t-
dicze with Capt Hooper President Young said I think & then I dont think
but before I enter into business I want to have the right bump touched
in my head by an Angel or the spirit of God before I act. H. S.
Eldridge did not go East for the Church but upon his own responsib-
ility. Yet He done some business for us but I should not have sent
him I dont want the interest upon the money the brethren put into
Banks all I want is the principle Brother Cannon could make enough
in England upon Exchanges to support himself & family. Brother Cannon
said He got the passage of the Saints From New York to Florence
for $10.80 cts via Rail way
