Boat in company with Br James Moses & arived
in Philadelphia at one oclok we stoped at

4th
I recived a letter from Phebe which
I was truly glad to hear from home again
Elder Taylor wrote some in it.
The quorum of the Twelve started for
Pittsburgh this day. I spent the day in
running round the city looking for Paper
& other Materials & was weary at night
yet during the evening I accompanied
Elders Grant & Winchester to an Elocution
school which was interesting I spent the
night with Elder Grant.
~ Thursday
5th I left Philadelphia on the train of cars
for Strasburgh to see Br John Neff. I stoped
at Lummons place near Paradise. A large
No of the Saints went on the cars this
morning from Philadelphia to Nauvoo
I found Br Neff & his family all well, but
a dull prospect of getting money to buy
my printing materials with which I much
regret as I cannot go home without it
my prayer is that the Lord will open my way
I spent the night at Br Neffs Distance 85 mi
