I spoke over an hour with great freedom, and my chill left
me from that hour, and I had no more attacks for many days.
On the Monday following, , I felt sufficiently
restored to health to continue my journey. I took leave of
my father and sister, and left for New York, where I arrived

I spent two months and seven days after my arrival in New
York, traveling and preaching in that city, New Jersey and Long Island, a portion of the time with Parley and Orson
Pratt. I had frequent attacks during this time of the chills

On the I attended our conference in New
York City, with Parley P. Pratt, and on this day Elder John
Taylor arrived in our midst, and it was a happy meeting.
He had passed through a severe siege of sickness after we
parted, but through the mercy of God had been preserved,
and was able to continue his journey. He also informed us
that others of the quorum of the Twelve had suffered a great
deal of sickness, and that it was with difficulty that they could
travel.
After spending six days in New York, Elder John Taylor, in
company with Elder Theodore Turley and myself sailed out of New York Harbor for Liverpool, on board the packet ship Oxford on the .
We took steerage passage, which cost fifteen dollars each.
We had storms and rough weather, but most of the winds
were favorable for a quick passage.
While on the ship, a Methodist minister got into a dis-
cussion with some Catholics who were in the company, and the
arguments of the minister ran rather more into abuse than
sound argument.
Elder Taylor told the Methodist minister that he did not
think it was becoming in a daughter to find so much fault with
the mother as they did, for as the Methodists came out of the
Catholics, Elder Taylor thought the mother had as much
right to enjoy her religion unmolested as the daughter had.
That ended the argument.
