January 19th, this morn I got up a quarter to four and accompanied my father to Brighhouse and saw him take train for Liverpool, thense to Zion. My father has left behind him, my mother, four sisters, myself and brother William.

January 24th, this day my father should have set sail for Zion. I was liberated from the Presidency of branch at Driglington to labor in another field. I again met with church and assisted brother Child to administer to the bread and wine.

May 1849

May 18. This night we heard the glad news that the ship Zetlan in which my father sailed had arrived safe at New Orleans. My mother sorrows so much at his absence. If she thought he would acknowledge her she would sell out and go to him. My son, John is recovering from an attack
of fever. I and my wife and daughter Mary Ann attended a camp meeting. I spoke. Got dinner with my bro. William, he forbade me to preach the gospel.
