part of the town and had commenced baptizing in that place. She
accompanied me to brother John Robinson's Gritts Green near Bromwich when
I learned that Elder Turley had gone to Birmingham. I wrote to
him to return and see me

I had not been in the house but a short time
before two men came in full of wrath and brought a little blind
girl and demanded of me to heal her and work a miracle that they
might have a sign. After telling them the character of those who
sought for signs one of them brought a railing accusation against
me and rejected my testimony. Brother Turley had been preaching
at this place for three weeks and had baptized nine persons. During
the evening several came to inquire into the work and four offered
themselves for baptism. I spent the night at George Morrall's

Nest day I met Elder Turley and was happy
to see him. He read a letter to me which he had received
from his wife containing much interesting matter to me.
He informed me among other items that Elders Orson Hyde and
John E. Page were set apart at the general conference by the Prophet
Joseph on the 6th of April to go to Jereusalem and that they would
visit England on their way. The letter from Sister Turley
also stated that sister Woodruff was at the conference and was
in good health. I preached that night at the house of Bro.
Walker and four were baptized by Elder Turley.

The day following was also spent at
West Bromich and preached in the evening when another was
baptized and we ordained one priest and one teacher

So also was the 25 spent at the same
place where I again preached

On the 26weth we took the Omnibus to
Lane End at the Staffordshire Potteries via Wolverhampton and Stafford
It would be difficult to describe the scene between Birmingham
and Wolverhampton. The whole county arround was
sending up smoke and flames from its innumerable furnices
I thought I never saw anything which came so near the
description of the lake of fire and brimstone as that scene
For miles theat country is one universal mass of coal pits
iron mines and furnaces belching out fire and smoke

Ariving at Lane End we called upon
