NOV 1st I accompanied the above named brethren on board the Packet ship
Tarolinta Capt Smith bound for Liverpool. they took steerage passage and

it wisdom to tarry untill more of the quorum of the Twelve arived so that we might
hold a conference in New York before we set sail. May the Lord grant those Brethre[n]
a safe passage I Pray. I travled over the city much during the day. Sister Pratt had
