Highest peack of rocks any whare in this region
of country a good deal of the way up was
almost perpendicular. I was informed that
Elder O Pratt while esstablishing the branch
in Edinborough freequented the top of this
rock as a place of retirement & meditation
from this rock we had a full view of
the whole city of Edinborough & the surro-
unding country for many miles, which was
a sublime view I was quite unwell with a
severe cold in the morning & I was quite
weary in reaching the top of this seat, as was
the case with most of the brethren. After
we had taken a sufficient view of the sour-
roundeding country we again desended into
the city took Dinner After which we visited
several of the Saints. And in the evening I
attended a council of officers, was vary
ho^a^rse had a sore throat yet I addressed the
Elders at some length At the close of the
meeting A man holding the office of a prist
but had tried to Apostitize for a long time arose
& opposed the work I answered his questions
he wished to leave the Church & we wished
to have him & so he was cut off. I spent
the night at 2 High Riggs distance 10 m
