Day in the Life
Journal Entry
August 10, 1838 ~ Friday
Aug 10. I left Br Ames in company with Priest Thomas for the purpose of visiting the South Island
notwithstanding the threats of the people to mob, tar, feather, and kill me if I came there again
yet I was determined to visit the Saints once more upon that Island of the sea. I had a short inter-
view with Mr Douglass the methodist Preacher, at John kents store his vary countenance indicated
the wrath of his heart against me. We crossed the thoroughfare and landed upon the South
Island with Jabez Brown. We walked to Br Crockett's, to Br Merchant's from thence to Br Charles
Brown, to Capt Benj[amin] Coombs we took supper with him We called upon Mr Burgess and family they had
made shipwreck of faith and cared for none of these things. We next called upon Br Jesse Coombs we found
them strong in faith we spent the night with them distance of the day 10 miles
