blessing of God I leave with you which I ^as I could^ have done had we
been received in the name of the Lord. We then walked to
sister Calvins and Elder ^Duchers^ in Jefferson's county being a distance
of 24 miles during the day.
On the we travelled to sacketts Harborur
^&^ visited the American Garrison which was beautiful for situation
We also had an interview with brother Archibal Patten. At
10 o'clock at night we took passage on board the Oneida at
Sacketts Harbour and crossed Lake Ontario to Kingston in the
province of Uper Canada
I was now in the dominions of Great Britain
and this was the first time that I ever trod the soil of the
British Soverign. After spending several hours in Kingston we
walked to Kingston Mills on the morning of the ; and spent
the night there.
We took the steamboat June the at 8 o'clock
a.m. at Kingston Mills to go up the canal. We passed through a
swamp of about twelve miles in length which abounded with
^fir & such as muskrat otter beaver &c.^
From Brewer's Mills we passed through Crambary
Marsh to Jones' Falls where the boat passed through four locks
which were built by the British Government and supposed to
be the most splendid works of the kind in America. They
cost four hundred thousand dollars being one hundred thousand
each. Yet notwithstanding these magnificient works the
face of the country presented a scene of the most gloomy
aspect; it being a rocky hilly barren uncultivated country
We left the boat at the locks and walked to
brother A^rtemus^ Judd's in the township of Bastard Leeds
County Upper Canada where we were joyfully received
by the Saints of God. They had been brought into the
Church through the instrumentality of Elders J. E. Page and J.
Blacksley and we were much rejoiced to hear of the work of
God prospering in their hands.
The was spent in writing and on the
following we attended Conference with Elders John E Page
and James Blakesley at the township of Bastard.
The Conference consisted of 13 Elders 5 Priests
8 Teachers and 6 Deacons besides a large congregation
of Saints.
