Join the Saints He said it made a division
among the commity some were for going with
him & some opposing I thank God that there
bgegins to be a little stir in this city, we have
had some good dreams of late about ketch-
ing fish, & I hope we may soon realize it by
Baptizing many souls for we have laboured
hard in this city for many weeks & with great
expens & baptized as yet ownly 19 souls but
we will not despise the Day of small things but
hope for more. I also had an interview with
a jgentleman that had been a member of the Irv-
inite Society but had left them he attended
our meeting. We retired to rest & I dreamed
of ketching fish, fowl, geese & Turkies, in
nets, & seeing a house on fire. Elder Kimball also
Dreamed of casting a net & ketching a good hall
of fish, two large ones, & gathering fruit
So I think sumthing will be done soon

Wright, Scotland. We spent the afternoon
with Doctor Copeland. We accompanied
him in the evening to the {Theater Royal, Drury Lane}
Concerts d'Hiver, (which is a new invented
musical performance composed of the choi-
sest band of music in the world of about 100
musicians mostly German & French conducted
by) "Mr Ellason" (His first appearance this season)
which is the first start of any thing of the kind
in modern days. "It manifested the greatest
perfection in music of any thing known, it was
composed of almost evry instrument of music
in use." by having a view of it it gave us a
knowledge of the art of man, & what could
be perfected with instruments of music
Distance of the day 8 miles
