21st I spent the fore part of the day in Sterling visiting the Saints & at 2 oclock we
Parted with them & took the steem boat
on the river fourth & had a view of Sterling
Castle as we retreated from it & the whole
scenery on both sides of the river untill
we arived at Edinborough was highly inter-
esting, we had a hard storm of wind &
rain which made a rough sea & some were
sea sick. we arived in Edinborough at
7 oclok & called upon Henry McEwan
the Presiding Elder of Edinborough branch
his Address is [blank]
After getting some refreshments we went
to meeting & met with the Saints for
the first time in Edinborough. Elder Hedlock spoke & was followed by Elder Ward & I followed him. this conference
is in a divided state many asspiring spirits
have been manifest for a length of time
I Pray God to Give us wisdom in seting
in order this conference that we may have
power in the midst of the Saints. we spent
the night at Br H Mc.Ewan
