landed January 11, 1840, in good
health and spirits. When I left my
father, he gave me some money to
assist in paying my passage; also gave
me five dollars, which he requested
me to keep until I arrived in Liver-
pool, saying, I would there need it.
This I found to be true after landing;
that money was all we had to pay our
expenses to Preston, and we had two-
pence left.

We arrived in Preston on the 13th.
Had a happy interview with brother
Willard Richards; held a Council,
and agreed that Elder Taylor go to
Liverpool, Turley to Birmingham, and
I to Staffordshire Potteries.

Jan. 18—I arrived in Manchester;
met Elder William Clayton, who pre-
sided over that Branch, numbering
164 members. I was immediately
called upon to visit a woman possessed
with the devil. She was raging and
foaming, and had to be held by four
men. The more we rebuked the
devil, the worse she raged. We con-
tinued to pray and administer, until
we cast the devil out. She arose and
gave thanks to the Lord. The devil
then entered into a young child, and
we cast him out. I preached several
times, and laid hands on twenty-eight
persons. I went to Burslem on the
21st, and met with Elder Alfred
Cordon, President of the Burslem
Branch, which numbered 66. I com-
menced preaching in the Staffordshire
Potteries. Elder Turley left for Bir-
mingham on the 29th. I remained in
the Potteries some forty days, preach-
ing, baptizing and confirming, and
blessing children.
