On the I left the Islands I crossed in the mail boat to Hampden on the main Land. I there met with ^ordained^ James TownsendI set him apart to the ministry
and we walked together through deep snows to the City of Bangor, preaching each night and visited and preached in the Town of searsmont, Belfast, Northport Frankfort Hampden, and twice in the City Hall in Bangor, to large assemblies, and
returned to the ^Fox^ Islands via Casteme and the Isle of Holt, arived in Vinal Haven the

barr to some 40 rods from shore to dig som clams, we were soon accompanied by Mrs Woodruff and a Sister Stone who had a curiosity to see how clams were dug, the ground
for some 12 rods near shore was several feet lower than the point we were on we were
so busily ingaged in diging clams we did not observe the flowing tide untill we
were surrounded with water, and having no boat we had no other alternative
ownly to waid ashore and carry the women to dry land in an arm chair, which we
safely accomplished amid the reflection that the tide nor more than time waited for no
man,. On the I called at the post office and Mr Kent the post master
showed me a letter containing two sheets of fools cap signed by Warren Parrish
and several of the Twelve who had apostitized and been cut off from the Church the
letter was teeming with falshood against Joseph Smith and the Prophet and all that stood

attended the conference with me upon both Islands and bore their testimony to the
people, but the spirit of opposition increased to a great hights, untill I felt warned
by the spirit to leave the Island for a season and take a western mission. after visiting
the saints from house to house, and praying with them and incouraging them I left them on the and went to the main land with Elder Holmes & Townsend Mrs Woodruff ^Mrs Woodruff^ had returned to her friends in ScarFathershouseon the We walked
