[FIGURE] I walked in company with Mrs Woodruff to the thoroughfare & assisted her in going on board
the mail boat bound for Camden that she might there take the steem boat Bangor to Portland
she went on board the mail boat at 8 oclock AM. in company with Sisters Whitley & Pease & Brother
Ebenezer Ames with some other company. I here parted with Phebe & retired from the abodes of
men & commended her to God. O Lord preserve her from harm, accident, & danger, & give her health
and peace I pray may she return in safety to her friends. After I saw the vessel with her canvass
spread bear my companion away oe'r the billows of the deep I returned alone to Brother Ames
meditating upon a pilgraim's life. I had an interview with Brother Rogers he informed me he was
about to return to his family & church in New Rowley I walked with him a mile on his way as he
was going to take boat to leave the Island we knelt down by the way side & commended each other
unto God & took the parting hand. O who knows the feelings of men that are called to testify against
the wickedness of the people & stand in defence of the word of God & bear perils together of
many kinds & the worst of all such as come from fals brethrer or those that make shipwreck
of faith shsuch as Warren Parrish & John Boyington & others that have done me much evil
by sending letters from Kirtland to these Islands protesting against & condemning the faith
once delivered to the Saints which we advocate & which they once strongly advocated themselves
but the Lord reward them. I returned to Br Ames distance 6 miles

down & probably for the last time upon this place & offered up my prayers unto the Lord
