Daybook (3 October 1838 - 4 March 1839)
Feb 18th [FIGURE] I wrote a letter to
Brothers Azmon & Thompson
Woodruff I spoke of the death
of Brother Asahel &c. I spent a day
in looking over Brother Asahels
letters & writings I found many
things of Interest. As the Saints
are scattered abroad by persecution
I have concluded to spend the
season with my family in the
town of Rochester whare I & many
of the Saints now are I have taken
5 acres of land of Mr James Bushman
to plant to corn Brother Albert Smith
