on your mission". I thanked him. A Bro., came along with
a wagon and carried me a few miles on my road, I started
without purse or scrip; I ^&^ passed by Parley P. Pratt who was
hauling ^e^ ^hewing^ logs for a house, he was bare-foot, bare-headed, with-
out coat or vest on, he said "I have no money but I have
an empty purse, I will give you that." I went a few rods
and found Elder ^H. C.^ Kimball building a log cabin, he said
"I have one dollar I will give you that to put in your purse"
he blessed me and I went my way, accompanied by Elder
John Taylor. I had a shake of the ague every other day,
and lay on the bottom of the wagon while I traveled.

We staid with Samuel ^H.^ and ^Don^ Carlos Smith at Macomb
& held a meeting with the Saints, in that ^place whereo^ they contributed
$9 to ^our^ necessities, and Geo. Miller gave us a horse.
Father Coltrin was going East, he took us into his wagon
to help us along; we spent five days in Springfield *

*where Elder Taylor had printed fifteen hundred copies of a the
pamphlet, upon the Missouri persecution; also ^had^ had a trial
with Elder Babbitt ^who^ having prefered a charge against him
for improper conduct. We sold our horse

we administered to him, and he revived; on the follow-
ing day he fell again, and fainted several times, it
seemed as though the destroyer would take his life; we
traveled with him 4 days after he was taken sick.
His sickness proved to be an attack of the billious
fever, we stopped with him two days, at a Mormon ^German^
Tavern in Germantown, Wayne Co., Indiana, with a
kind family, with whom he was acquainted; Father
Coltrin would stay no longer; I proposed to remain
with bro. Taylor, but as I was sick with fever & ague,
and not able to take care of myself, bro. Taylor advised
me to continue my journey with Father Coltrin, saying
"it is easier to take care of one sick man, than two."
