Fed 28th Sunday this is the last Day of winter, I still
have a severe cold. I preached this Day for the
first time in the city of Bristol, I preached in the
Theater in the afternoon & evening. The Theater
was crouded to overflowing several Hundred were present
& good attention was paid, many souls will embrace
the work in Bristol. After meeting we returned to Elder Kingtons House & I broke bread unto the Saints had a
good time, one offered for Baptism. Bristol is a vary noted
place for Religion contains a vary great No of churches
& chapels of the various orders, it is a sea port town
it is the Harbour of the great western & many
other ships that sail to New York. I went through Red-
cliff Street Park st & Temple st.
