was cut & part standing. We passed through Oxfordshire & in about 8 miles
of Oxford University the largest & most Noted university in the world
which consists of 20 endowed collages & 5 halls not endowed at which place
all Europeans finish their studies before they consider themselves perfect schollars
We saw vast herds of cattle, sheep, & deer. we passed in Light of Stow, & the
wychwood forest containing 7,500 acres of timber in which thousands of cattle feed
& it is also a Noted place of resort for sportsman to hunt deer, hares, & pheasants, &c
we arived at the farington road station & took cars for London at 1 oclock P.M.
passed through Relicks & had a plain view of old ruins & as we passed we also had a
fair view of Winser Castle as we passed within about one miles of it, which is the reside[n]ce
of her Majesty the Queen Victoria when she is not in London. After traveling 70 miles
on the rail road we were landed at the London depo we then took coach & rode 3 miles into
the centre of the city of London at which place we arived at 4 oclock PM. making 110 miles
in 7 hours, & we did not stop more than 2 minutes at a time during the whole journey
we left the coach about the centre of the city for it had great difficulty in getting along in
consequence of the solid jam of coaches & human beings which stormed the streets full
& we walked across London Bridge over the River Thames which was also crouded with human
Beings, & we called upon (Mr's, W. Allgood 19 King Street, Borough, London,) which is Mr W Allgoods
Address. Mis Allgood is our sister to Eldr Theadore Turley wife, she treated us kindly &
gave us some refreshment which we much needed as we had eat nothing since morning
she then directed us to a publick house near by where I am now sitting in company
with Eldrs Kimball & G A Smith for the purpose of writing a letter to my dear
wife, while the Brethren are writing to their famili^e^s, & this after having been in the city
city one hour, I can hardly realize that I am now in the great city of London
but so it is, even in the Largest, most Noted, & populous commercial city in the world containing
a population of about (1,500,000) one million five hundred thousand human beings, I am in
company with Elders H. C. Kimball & G. A. Smith we are the first Elders of the Church of Jesus
Christ of latter Day Saints that have ever walked the streets of London in. O London as I
walk thy streets & Behold the mass of human beings passing through thee, & view thy mighty
Pallaces, thy splended mansions, thy spires towering to the clouds, thy costly merchantdize whare with
