The time had come for me to take my departure from my family to carry the gospel of Jesus Christ to the nations of Europe in fulfill ment of the commandment of God accordingly I left a parting blessing with my wife & took my fare well of her & other saints on the morn of the 8th Day of OctAug 1839 & left Montrose & crossed the Missisippi River for the purpose of commencing my mission of of four about six thousand miles & I started without purs or scrip and that to with the fever & ague rest- ing upon me every other day. I left in company with Elder John Taylor. We were the first of the quorum of the Twelve that started out on this important mission but the rest expect to follow us immediately
~ Wilford Woodruff
I commenced taking a box of Sappington's Anti- fever pills which are so highly recommended for the ague & fever as I do not wish to carry the disease any further with me. I attended meeting in the grove Elder Taylor Preached & I followed him & although I was weak in body yet the Lord strengthened me
~ Wilford Woodruff
Phebe was healed by the power of God & of faith.
~ Wilford Woodruff

Three men called in the evening (one of which was lame) to have Elder Pratt heal him that they might have a Sign in order to believe the work of God but a Sign thay did not get
