I took a walk with George A Smith to Charlston
on the 22nd. We first visited the Navy Yard of the
United States then the dry dock and next the U.S.
Rope-Walk which we inspected in all its branches

We took dinner and then visited
Bunker Hill Monument. I entered the tube and
was drawn up by steam 2210 feet where I had a
view of all Boston Charleston, Cambridge Chelsea &c
and then descended by the same way. Next
came the State prisons with 262 prisoners at their
various branches of business

After seeing each appartment
we returned to Boston where we held meeting which
was addressed by John E. Page H. C Kimball
P. P. Pratt Wilford Woodruff and George A Smith

Next day ^23rd^ I called upon brother
Heber C. Kimball who let me have one hundred dollars
^on P. P. Pratts act^ to purchase paper with; and on the same
day started per rail to Westfield and when ^I^ we
got to my destination for the day I found that
P. P. Pratt and Erastus Snow were in the car before
me without our knowing it. I parted with them
and they continued homeward

I continued my journey the next
day ^24th^ and on the following I reached Farmington
my native place and four days later again
left my father's house and arrived in New York
on the next day where I found Elder Brigham
Young.

On the 3rd of October I took
steamboat to Philadelphia and in the evening
there met five of the quorum of the Twelve and
other Elders

Next day the others of the quorum
of the Twelve started for Pittsburg I also left for
home on the following day and a large number of
the Saints started per rail from ^Philadelphia^ in
the morning bound for Nauvoo.
