7^th [FIGURE] I wrote a letter to Elder Browett &
walked to Br Corners & visited several
other friends. {Brother Corner would make me a [illegible] watch for} 5 10
two offered themselves for Baptism. On
my return home I passed through Smithfield
market & it was fare time with them & such a
scenery I never saw before I visited St Pauls Church
or Cathedral after visiting the lower room which
we visited on the 24^th Aug. I then walked on circular
stairs into the whispering gallery which is round &
exceding large & a person can hear a whisper distinctly
from any part of it. I nex visited the Cupola
& all parts above it untill I got to the ^[FIGURE]^ I then went in to
the top of the Brass ball upon which the cross stand whic
is as high as any man can go It brought me 400 feet
in the air over the city. I wrote my name & returned to the Earth
On ariving at our boarding hours I found Elder
Kimball & Smith who had just returned from
a visit with the Rev. R. Aitken A.M. he
treated them kindly acknowledged their doctrin
to be true but was afraid of deception his
mind is in a disturbed state.

We held a meeting
in the Temperance hall in the evening which
was well lighted with gas But we had almost
bear walls to preach to as their was ownly
about 30 persons present. The truth is the
minds of the people here in London are taken up
with evry thing but the things of God & righteous
ness. I preached to the people about one hour
& was followed by Elder Kimball. after paying
7/6 for the use of the Hall we returned to our lodgings.
