After meeting Dissmissed I spent about three
hours in shaking hands with the Saints healing the
sick, giving council, concerning a thousand questions
& things that were presented before me by
the multitude which surrounded me many were
in tears as they parted from me, Nearly fifty saints
came to me & wished me to take them to Zion when
I had not means to take myself: I however gave
Sister Foxal £5. pounds to make up enough to
help her & her husband & children to the land of
America, she had £30 pounds but not quite
enough to help her family over, & she had used evry
exhertion for six months by puting faith & works
together to try to gather with the Saints, & this
was a donation from Elder who
is imparting of his substance to help the poor Saints
It caused me peculiar feelings to part with these
Saint & to meditate upon the fruits of my labours
& what had followed in that field During 1840
