State and to strike hands with one of the Elders of Israel raised
up in this district—namely, Elder Gibson Smith who was presiding
over the Canaan Branch. He received us kindly and bade
us welcome. A meeting was appointed and I preached to the
people in the Academy who listened with most silent attention
This day we had walked 33 miles.

On the morrow we walked to Mr Jesse Moses
where we found Priest Julian Moses and a number of
brethren and sisters and we rejoiced together. I spent the
night at brother Francis K Benedict's and was informed that
my father Aphek Woodruff had moved from Colebrook to
Farmington his former place of residence.

I walked in company of brother Benedict jun
on the 22^nd to Beach Hill in Colebrook Lichfeld Co. Connecticut
Here I had the happy privilege of again embracing my
sister Eunice Woodruff. It was five years since we
last parted from each other. I found my sister teaching
school in the Rock School house.

After the interview of our first meeting
and dinner with my sister was over Eunice and I visited
the Stillman neighbourhood in order to find Elder Dexter
Stillman from thence together we walked to Mr Daniel
Norton's in New Marlborough Berkshire Co Mass and thence
to father Benedict's. The whole distance of the day

The 23 was spent in writing and on the
next day, Saturday, we met in Conference at Mr Jesse Moses in
Canaan. The conference was composed of 5 Elders and two
more were ordained during the day. On the Sunday

speaking to the people. After meeting Elders Milton Holmes
and J. Moses started on a mission to the town of Mansfied.

On the 28 I again visited Rock School

sister Eunice still employed teaching school. After a
short interview with Mr Alpha Sage I spend the remainder
of the day with Eunice whom I accompanied to her
school and spent a very interesting time. As the scene
and reflections of the time affected me much as well as
