Day in the Life

Oct 1, 1860

Journal Entry

October 01, 1860 ~ Monday

Oct 1st a plesant day my hand is better I spent the forepart of the day
compiling History. In the afternoon I called upon President Young He
invited me to take a walk with him, I went with him to his new sugar
mill esstablished to go by water. it was a strong affair with a Breast
wheel. We then went to his barn to see his new Boilers they are making
them with wooden Ends but I think the Ends should have been made of


Iron. He puts two large Rods of Iron through Each End, lays a strip of cloth
in white lead between the wood & Iron & fastens it down with screws instead
of shingle nails it is made vary strong but I think nails would have done as
well. we then called to see Joseph A Youngs sick child I also examined his new
school house & barn President Young is building vary extensively He said
when his school house was done He would invite me to come & preach
in it. I returned to the Historians office at half past 3 oclock and spent
the evening compiling History

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.
