September 1, 1840 ~ Tuesday

Sept 1^st I walked out in the after noon with
Elders Smith & Kimball to visit some of the great
works of man, we visited the Thames Tunnel
which is considerd one of the greatest wonders
of the world. We entered the Tunnel on the
south side of the river Thames at Rotherhithe
& after going about about 80 feet down into the
earth we entered the archway on the left which
was finished 1120 feet which was beatifully
lighted up with gas we walked through it under the
river Thames, with the river & shiping over our
heads & in some places not more than 15 feet betw
een the top of the arch & the bed of the river there
is two archways the whole length of the tunnel &
openings which afford free communication from one
archway to the other, this is considered the greatest
piece of Invention & most splended work ever acc
omplished by man in modern times. We wrote our
names & profession & residence in a record about und
er the centre of the river we then came out of
the Tunnel, & rode in a skiff 2 miles to the Tower
of London which was built by the romans but is now
occupied for the garrison armory & Jewelry of the
British Navy & army &c we did not spend much time
it visiting this for it was late & we could not go thr
ough the different appartments on our return home
we saw near London Bridge exhibited a representation
as large as life in full costume the death of Marco Botzaris
Don Carlos & his staff. The Du[c]hess De Berri, the Infa-
nt Don Sebastian, Maroto Cyril & other officers.
And the atrocious Murderers Gould, Oxford,
Courvoisier, & Bailyey Greenacre & Sarah Gale.
We returned home to our lodgings & spent the night
I was quit ill through the night with the Bowel complai
nt which I have had for several days 8 mil

September 2, 1840 ~ Wednesday

2^nd I arose quite Ill with my complaint spent the
day mostly to my room. Elders Kimball & Smith went
in to the city to visit the people found some that
harkend to their testimony. London is the hardest
place I ever visited for esstablishing the gospel. It
is full of evry thing but righteousness, but we do
not feel discouraged in the least we are determined
in the name of the Lord to set up the standard of truth
in this city & to seek out the honest in heart & the
meek from among men & warn all as far as in our
power that the world may be left without excuse
