. . . I arrived in Liverpool on the 4th and set sail on the 8th of Feb. 1842 upon the good ship Hope, the captain's name was Saul. The cargo was Saints bound for Zion, 270 in number. So with all these favorable coincidence it might reasonably be expected that we would have prosperous voyage. We had been 9 weeks and 3 days when we landed in New Orleans and had one death on the way. We steamed up the Mississippi on a steamboat called "Louisa," landed in Nauvoo the 13th of April, 1842, and went to work 3 days after landing on the Nauvoo brickyard to make brick for the Nauvoo House. . . .
