"Confidential entries for my dear wife," consisting for most part of description of things seen on journey. Only occasional word on his mission to Mormons. From Philadelphia to Salt Lake by way of Panama. Crossed isthmus on newly constructed railroad. Boarded steamer for San Francisco. Re-embarked for San Pedro. Overland to Salt Lake. Homesick and seasick. ("I devoutly pray that I may never again'never again'expose myself to what I never fail to suffer on the ocean. . . . Never, no never again on the Sea.") Arrived in Salt Lake 28 February. Gap to 28 March when he writes, "I have returned from a trip on which I was successful in making the arrangements for introducing Governor C. into the Valley, with the feeling that I have now done my last utmost, and may leave the future to a less finite power." [Abstract from Davis Bitton's Guide to Mormon Diaries and Autobiographies, 1977]
