Tuesday, January 1st. 1884. 33 yrs. today since I left my native
land to go to Zion and never have regretted it. I have passed through
merry scenes since that time, but thank my Heavenly Father that I
have a name and standing in the church of Jesus Christ of Latterday
Saints and hope I shall continue and finally be saved in the Kingdom
of God. I have no other desire for I know there is no salvation only
through obedience to the ordinances of the gospel.

at Sister Newmans with Bro. Griffin, and I wrote a letter to Bro.
and Sister Parry who live in Herriman Fort, Utah.

Tuesday, March 25th 1884. Fine morning this is a splendid time for
the farmers to get in their crops and for the poor man to get in
their gardening, for it is all a poor man can do to get along in
this country. Sister Newman has to work early and late sometimes
midnight, getting their work ready. Next day, went to Sister Hicks

Thursday, March 27th 1884. Stayed at Sister Newmans till 3 P. M. and
then started to Cradley. Called at Thomas Newmans to see if my
release had come out in the Starr, but found it was not. Well now, I
am almost tired of walking over the Melvern Hills for it is such a
drag and my feet will not stand the walking as they use to do. I
arrived at Cradley at 8 P.M. very tired.

Friday, March 28th 1884. The weather has been very cloudy and cold

newspapers from home and I had none. He gets 2 to my one anyhow.
Fine morning and cloudy. My health and strength is good thank to
Lord for the same. We held a meeting in the afternoon, quite a nice
little meeting. I found a Book of Mormon on the shelf at Bro. Gibbs.
He said he thought it was Bible. this showed the interest he had for
reading as it had been in the house for years and he did not know it
from the Bible. We then went to Sister Bough's for tea, and from
there to Sister Starlings, stayed awhile and went back to Sister
Turbills. Received 3 letters today one from home, one from my
brother Samuel and two papers and a letter from my Father. My sister
Emily and Ann sent me a dollar each for which I say God bless them.

to me to read the letters I received from home yesterday. God bless
them one and all and keep them in the path of peace.

woman by the name of Emma Starling. This will open the way for the
rest of the family I hope. We went to Melvern to Mrs. Griffiths
found them at home and was treated very kindly. We stayed several
hours with him. He said he believed all we said to him but could not
see into Baptism by Immersion. He would, he said, study about it
more. We stayed with Bro. Gibbs all night at Cradley as our former
place of lodgings were closed on account of Sister Turbill leaving
for Salt Lake.

bed. This woman had used to belong to the church but was cut off
some years since. Her husband died some 18 months ago says now that
she can see things different since her husband died. She treated us
very kind and I think she will come back and do her first work over
again. There has been a good deal of rain yesterday and today.

Friday, April 4th 1884. Fine morning but cloudy. a good sign for
rain before night. Mrs. Philpot seems to be as kind as she can be
toward us. Well, I hope she will repent of her sins and be
rebaptized and do better in the future. We left Frooms Hill and
traveled on towards Hereford. The day was fine, roads a little muddy
part of the way, arrived a little before 3 P.M., went to Sister

Keyson Hill to see Mr. Sheen his wife being in the church, when
there we had quite a talk with him. He used to belong to the church.
I ask him if he ever had a testimony concerning the gospel, he said
he had not, for a good many at an early day were forced into the
church. We told him this was not right as it was a voluntary act on
our part. We gave him an invitation to come to our meeting, he said
he would come and see us some time, we then left for Pendock. Held
meeting in the afternoon and enjoyed ourselves. A good spirit was
with us for which I feel very thankful to my Heavenly Father. Had
some singing and playing on the accordion and then went to bed.

Monday, April 14th 1884. Very dull and cloudy. I learned yesterday
that there were between 8 and 9 hundred inmates in the Lunatic

wet. Wind in the face which made it very difficult for me to walk
over the Melvern Hills. I reached Cradley at 8 P.M. and stayed at

and affectionate when bidding them farewell perhaps forever. I have
made many friends which I trust will never be forgotten by me. God
bless them one and all for their kindness to me while in their

Thursday, May 15th 1884. Took a stroll down town and got measured
for a suit of clothes (3.4 pounds). I then went with Bro. Waddoups
to Sister Evans for tea where we had music and singing for a short
time. This Sister has not been in the church long but is very
fervent and sincere in the faith of the gospel, but her husband is
opposed and cares nothing for it. We returned to the Conference
House.

Friday May 16th 1884. Went for my clothes but failed to get them so

the evening went down to the landing stage assisted in getting the
luggage on board the Tender or Steam Tug which took us to the ship
Arizona a fine vessel some 475 long and 48 foot wide. President
Smith assigned us our berth which is a small one. The room was about
5 by 6 just room to sit down or lay down and sleep. Thanks for this
much room and for the privilege I have of going home on the vessel.
I am thankful that God has given me the health and strength I enjoy
and that I have had the privilege of coming on this mission. It is a
fine sight to see the different ships and steam tugs night and day
as they are going to and from Liverpool to Birkenhead.

Saturday May 17th 1884. Had a good nights rest. My bed is about 22
inches wide and 6 feet long. Our vessel lay out in the River Mersy
between Liverpool and Birkenhead. At 2:30 P.M. we set sail with a
head wind and a rough sea and before night sea sickness came on so
that I did not eat supper.

Sunday, May 18th 1884. Had a good nights rest, at 5:20 A.M. passed

Liverpool. We arrived at Queenstown at 6 A.M. This is a fine harbor
for vessels. We stayed here some 3 1/2 hours. Left Queenstown at
9:30 A.M. I took sick the first day out.

Monday, May 19th 1884. Still sick, a terrible mean feeling. I do not
have much ambition to get around to see what is going on. Saw some
Porpoises yesterday. Still a head wind, just what we want which give
the engines a draft to the fires. Made 426 miles since yesterday.
Weather very cold and rough sea.

can hardly keep it down. A good deal of sickness on board today and
very cold on deck.

Thursday, May 22nd 1884. We have had a rough night and yesterday the
ship rolled nd tumbled about fearfully and this morning it is some
better and saints feel a little more cheerful. I ate quite a
breakfast this morning which makes me feel better. Pres. Williams
called the brethren together this morning and gave us some
instructions in regard to this being our first company on the boat,
and that we should try and behave ourselves as well as we possibly
can and treat the officers on board with all the respect possible,
and give them a little money in order to gain their respect and good
will. The last 24 hrs. made 368 miles and a smooth sea, and I hope
it will continue and give the people a chance to get over their sea
sickness.

Friday, May 23rd 1884. The sea continues smooth and foggy. Saw a
whale today. Sea sickness abating. Head winds and very cold. Number
of emigrants on board 141 English, 135 Germans and Swiss and 13

of the custom house officers, and then got our luggage onto another
boat to cross the river. Left N.Y. 5:30 P.M. for New Jersey. Steam
Tugs, Barges, Schooners and large vessels of different size filled
the harbor, so you could scarcely throw a snow ball if you had one
without hitting one or the other. Got our baggage on board the
train. Left New Jersey at 8:40 P.M. and as it was night I could not
see the sights.

Tuesday, May 27th 1884. I was up between 3 and 4 to see the sights.
traveled down the Delaware way for many miles, this beholding a
great variety of scenery. We passed some fine towns. The road we
traveled seemed to lay between two ranges of hills the sides were
covered with timber, here and there small farms wherever they could
be made. Fruit trees in full bloom.
