17^th Great excitement prevails throughout
London esspecially in the House of parliament
conserning the Imprisionment of Mr MCCleod
& the North Eastern Boundary Question, Parliame-
nt now seemeds determined on war to evry Human
appearance it cannot be evaded, But to the
reflecting mind it seems as though the Nations
at the present time, were Insane & their
Kings, Presidents & Senitors entirely destitute of
all wisdom. But they will all soon learn their
is a God in Israel who is about to take peace
from the Earth & cut of[f] Nations not a few
for Great Babylon is about to come in rememberance
befor God. It will be as much as we
shall do to Get out of Liverpool for New York
before war overtakes us. But my Prayer
is that God will spedily Deliver us & the Saints

I received a Letter from Elder Pitt containing
£3 & informing me that their was an appointment
for me to Preach in Bristol on Sunday I wrote
a letter to Elder Wm Pitt. Dr Copeland intr-
oduced us by letter to the overseer of the library
of Bartholimew Hospital which we visited this day
& was vary politetly conducted, by Dr Lyon
throug the various Appartments of the Hospital &
after visiting the Museum, lecture rooms & other
places, last of all we visited the DISSECTING ROOM
It being the first scenery of
the kind I ever saw, Elders H C Kimball & L Snow
was with me, the Dissecting appartment consisted
of three Rooms, which contained about twenty
Sudjects viz Human Bodies which the Doctors were
dissecting that lay upon tables. Some were just commen-
[c]ed upon while others were nearly finished our
stay was short as their was a great stench in the
room, limbs & parts of the body were hung in
all parts of the room. We returned home from
the Hospital to our room carriying the vision of
what we saw in our minds. I corrected the proof
sheet of our Address to the citizens of London
we had our siting Room full of Saints in the evening
as we were soon to Leave London they brought us
some money & presents for our wives & children Sister
Copeland gave me a hat for little Willford 4 miles
