purpose of purchasing supplies for to fit out the companies of saints at Florence on the Missouri River near to the old Winter Quarters (The railway went only about fifty miles to Muscatine]. We stayed at Muscatine until eleven p.m., when we went on board the US. Mail steamboat, Ben Campbell, and resumed our journey on the Mississippi River. We passed Nauvoo next morning on the eastern banks of the river and, as I gazed on the remains of the once beautiful temple and the houses which were built by the industry of the saints and now inhabited by wicked gentiles and the temple which was built and dedicated to the Lord now lying in ruins with only one end standing, I reflected on the times that were passed and the persecutions of the saints and, then again, on the fbture with the satisfaction of knowing that the Lord will avenge the wrongs of His people and the blood of His servants which has been shed by wicked men. As I was deeply meditating over the above named scenes, looking at the famed city from the humcane deck looking where I was standing as the boat glided down the 'father of waters,' one of the cabin passengers came and stood by my side and commenced talking about Nauvoo and the Mormons. He said that Brigham Young and all the leaders deserved to be killed off, and manifested the same hellish spirit in him as did the demons who persecuted and slew the saints in the days of Joseph. The first opportunity I had, I resorted to a place which was about as high as I could get, being by the pilot house, I took off my hat and offered up a prayer unto Israel's God for this said man and all such enemies to God's people. Stayed four hours at Keokuk and went on board the beautiful steamboat, Keokuk, and arrived at St. Louis the next day at eleven a.m. where we met with Elder Horace Eldredge and several brethren.
