An account of the travels and ministry of Edward Par= tridge, in company with elder Isaac Morley. We commenced our journey on the 2d of June 1835 to visit the churches in the eastern States, (beginning or starting at Kirtland,) and I returned back to this place again the 29th of Octr. 1835. We traveled while absent about two thousand miles, visited about twenty five churches whose aggregate number is about Seven hundred and held about fifty meetings. I preached about thirty two sermons and spoke by the way of exhortation about half a dozen times. Elder Morley preached from fifteen to twenty times and spoke a number of times more. We baptized three,. We spent most of our time and labours in the chur= ches, and collected some donations for the poor. We found the churches doing as well as could be reasonably be expected Kirtland Octr. 31st 1835 Edward Partridge To Bishop N.K. Whitney
