~ Wednesday
13th[FIGURE] I received a letter from PHEBE Dated N. Y. Dec 6th 1840. Strange things happen
in the last days, I was no little shocked & surprised
to received a letter from her Dated in N. Y. She
informed me that J. F. Carter & L. Scammans
had visited her, & wished her to accompany them
home & spend the winter at her Fathers House
& accompany me home to the west in the spring
which invitation she excepted, which accounts
for her being in the city of N. Y. May the Lord bless
her, & give her an agreeable visit with her frien[ds]
& give her with Willford health & strength faith &
grace according to ourtheir Day in all things, & hasten
the Hour when we may once more greet each other
& ever be supported to do the will of God in all
things untill our work is finished on Earth, &
then may we reign together in the Celestial
Kingdom of our God which Blessings I ask God
the Eternal Father in the name of Jesus Christ
to grant & seal unto us this Blessing
I walked to Mr Pistrucci, to take a sitting but
returned with out it
P I had commenced a long letter to Phebe, & wrote
a few lines when I received her last letter which came
to hand this morning & as she had not received any
letter from me since the one Dated July 8th I commen[ce]d
& copied from my Journal from July 8th 1840 to
Jan 18th 1841 an account of all letters I sent her & all
friends in America, & all i had received, & all things
which I sent her, & spoke of a great variety of things
& affairs, & wished her to write & Direct to London
I mailed it on the 18th at Phillipps No 3. Georges Yard
Lumbard Street. Sister Redman & Br Kimball wrote
