bread & cheese & a pint of beer we made out
a supper & went to bed, & I dreamed of falli-
ng among thieves & robbers, who tryed to rob
us under pretence that we had done sumthing
wrong in London some years since I told them
we never had been in London untill within a few
months that we were Americans & had a family
there, & we had come to preach the gospel &
we would preach to them if they would open
their doors & after bothering awhile with
them I awoke, & found it to be the first
Christmas Eve I ever spent in London

December 25, 1840 ~ Friday

25^th CHRISTMAS Day In LONDON
The Church Bells throughout the city comm-
enced chanting for meeting at half past ten
we met with the Saints at Father Corner Room
Georges Row 24 at 11 o'clock & we tought
the Saints some plain principles, which had a
good effect, we took our Christmas dinner
with Br Morgan he had his family at home with
him the Dinner consisted of Baked Mutton
Goose, Rabit Pies, Minced Pies, & Plum Pudding
& bread & cheese, Porter & water. We spent
the evening at Mr Albums in conversing
about the things of God, we returned
home, after sitting an hour with the family
we retired to rest. This is the first Christ-
mas I ever spent in England, whare I shall
be the next Christmas day the Lord ownly
knows, & what a year to come will bring forth
we cannot tell, But may the Lord preserve
my life, my wife & child in peace I pray &
enable all the Saints to be esstablished in righteo-
usness. Christmas is considerd the greatest of all
days in England.
