in-law until the 5th of July, and then
left for my native place, Farmington,
where I arrived the third day after.

While tarrying at my father's house I
married my sister Eunice Woodruff to
Mr. Dwight Webster. At my sister's
marriage there were between forty and
fifty persons, mostly our relatives. This
was on the 4th of August, 1841.

A few days afterwards my aunt Bulah
Hart was baptized into the Church, and
on the 18th of the month I bade fare-
well to my father's house after a stay of
forty-one days. This was a longer visit
than I had paid to any of my friends for
the last ten years.

On the 9th of September, a little
company, consisting of myself, wife and
son, and four others, started on board the
boat Sandusky for Albany. Our ulti-
mate destination was Nauvoo, where we
arrived on the 5th of the next month.

When I left Nauvoo, two years before,
there were not more than a dozen houses
in the place, but, on my return to the
city, there were several hundred.

We passed by the Temple, then build-
ing, and had a view of it; we then
called at the house of Elder Brigham
Young, and there spent the night.

Brother Brigham was sick, and Heber
C. Kimball and Willard Richards were
with him. We laid hands upon him and
he soon recovered.

I saw many of my old friends and ac-
quaintances, and was informed that others
of them were dead.

I met with many friends on the day
after my return to Nauvoo, and also sat
in counsel with the Twelve and was
happy once more to meet with my
quorum. I moved my things to Elder
Kimball's. My wife and child were sick.

On the 30th of October the city coun-
cil met and among its business I was ap-
pointed one of the city council of
Nauvoo.
