7th This was an interesting day on some accounts

Her, & I never saw a person Baptized in London tha[t] did
my soul more good than to see her go forward in the
ordinance of Baptism. She was the Daughter of David

Husband who was a vary Jealous man & an unbeliever
in the Bible or any of the word of God, & he would
not grant her any religious privliges but she had a little
leasure time came three miles this cold morning to
be Baptized, after we Baptized her we lade hands
upon her & confirmed & Blessed her, & also the
sister we Baptized last evening. Sister Susanna
returned home rejoiceing in the Lord with her
whole heart.

Autobiography 1883 Tullidge's Quarterly Magazine Notes 1
On the we baptized Mrs Susanna M. Sangiovanni at which I took great satisfaction for she was the daughter of David W. Rogers of Montrose. She was married to an Italian who was a very jealous man and an unbeleiver in the Bible or any of the word of God and he would not grant her any religious privileges. But this morning she had come to be baptized and returned home rejoicing with her whole heart. There was also one baptized the day before. This was Sunday and in the afternoon we communed with the Saints experienced a profitable time and had a full house and in the evening Elder Kimball preached to a full congregation and I followed him. The people paid good attention and the Lord was with us greatly. The Book of Mormon Entered At Stationers Hall.
