[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 9th A warm plesant spring day. We left the Ohio and entered the Missippi River early this morning. While Mother And Betsey was writing letters home to Connecticut Father Woodruff And myself diverted ourselves by looking at objects through my spy glass as we passed along. Little Phebe eat so many nuts canday &c that she was quite restless through the night And [had] some Bowel complaint but she seems Cheerful to day. While assending the Missisippi one more towards Nauvoo I rejoiced at the thought that A few more days would give me the privilege of again embracing my wife And Children.
