At Liverpool I embarked on the big sail-ship John Bright. In all there were seven hundred and thirty emigrants, LDS representatives from Scandinavia, Wales, Ireland, England. We arrived in New York July 114, 1868. From New York I rode by rail to Fort Laramie, Wyoming. From Laramie I journeyed with Captain John Murdock’s Mule Train to Salt Lake City, walking most of the way. We arrived in Salt Lake City August 19, 1868.</p>
