Elder Taylors sickness he suffered much he appears now to have the billious fever settelled upon
him I felt quite Ill myself this was a dark & gloomy day may the Lord have mercy upon us & not
suffer our way to be hedged up I pray 14 m[iles]

September 1, 1839 ~ Sunday

Sept 1^st 1839 This is the first day of fall Sunday. Elder Taylor felt much better we concluded to
spend the day in the place & preach to the people. It was a german settlement. I deliverd unto
them a discourse on the first principles of the gospel & other subjects Elder Taylor followed
me & spoke untill he was quite exhausted not realizing his bodily weakness, & I became chilled
myself & returned to Mr Waltz Inn & I immediately was taken with a shake of th[e] ague & was followed
by a high fever which lasted me mostly through the night

September 2, 1839 ~ Monday

2nd This [FIGURE] was a painful day to my feelings in some respect. Elder Taylor is worse has a high billious fever
and cannot Journey. it is now evident, that he will have a course of the fever. Father Coultrin is to
continue his Journey & Elder Taylor is to be left & it was painful to think of parting with him & leave him sick
a thi[n]g I should not do was I able to take care of him myself but as my health would not permit of this
being vary feeble in body. Elder Taylor advised me to continue my Journey with father Coltrin & make the
best of my way to New York accordingly I did so. And after committing him to God I took the parting
hand with him & left him in Germantown Wayne County Indianna, in the hands of a merciful God & a
kind & benevolent family, who promised to do evry thing in their power to make him comfortable untill
his recovery which I have full confidence to believe they will do. The place is within 12 miles of Elder
James Townsend in Louisville. We rode from Mr Waltz in to Richmond & out of the state of Indiana
into the state of Ohio. I passed through the town of Eaton whare my wife suffered much (as we
Journied west last winter) with the brain fever. I noted thhe house in particular whare we spent four days
at which place Mrs Woodruff was healed by faith & the power of God. We passed through Eaton & spent
the night at Mr David Hecks distance of the day 45
