with father Alley. Sister Alley was rather low in her mind but I endeavoured to comforte her in the
gospel. We took a farewell of them & walked to Chelsea from thence to Charleston we here visited
the Bunker hill Monument & walked upon the entrenchment that was flung up by our brave fathers during
the night before that memorable battle that was fought upon Bunker Hill but the roar of cannon & clash
of arms had long since ceased & the green turf was now trod in safety & the sound from the populous
city of Boston was now echoing through the air while our fathers sleep in peace. We had a view of
the Navy yard as we passed along from thence we entered the city of Boston being the first day
my eyes ever beheld its welth or fmy footsteps ever trod its streets I spent several hours in visiting
this city which contained a pop of about 100,000 inhabitants & also as near beatiful & well furnished
market probably as any in America. We visited the state house which was splendid. I walked to the
cupalo & had a fair view of the whole city. I walked around the commons which was enclosed
with an Iron railing of about 2 1/2 miles in length I visited the Tremont House the most noted public
house in the city, & also the shiping. We dined at Mr Thayre'^s in Belknap street upon a rich salmon
we visited several of the Saints in the city during the day. We also visit south Boston & had a fair
view of the splendid Mount Washington House a place of entertainment for gentlemen who
wish to retire from the bustle & noise of the city. I next walked over the long bridge to Cambridge
from thence to Cambridge point I went to the goal [jail] in order to have an interview & to comfort Elder
Albert P. Rockwoowd who had been cast into prison by his enemies for debts in order to trouble and
distress him, when I arived at the prison the Jailor permitted me to enter into the room whare he
was & it was truly a happy meeting for althoug we were strangers after the flesh yet we were
united in the spirit. This was the first time I ever entered into a prison to see an Elder of Israel
but after the keeper of the prison doors had turned the key upon us & left us together to
comfort each other in the midst of Iron grates & bars I began to inquire into the state of his mind
and it gladdened my soul to find him strong in the GOD of Abram Daniel & Eligah he was rejoicing
in God contented in his mind & strong in the faith once deliverd to the Saints. Brother Rockwood had
the Bible, Book of Mormon, P. P. Pratts voice of warning & the Evening & Morning star as his companions
