[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 31st We took Cars. Rode to Baltimore 100 mi. And Stoped for the day And night. I spent the afternoon in company with Elder Hollister And My Father Aphek Woodruff in visiting the city of Baltimore.
After Passing through several streets we stoped at A Deguritype office And I had my Fathers likeness taken Also my own with my Cloak on And Book in my hand. I paid for the two $3.
We then went to visit Washingtons Monument. We went on to the top of it over 200 feet High whare we had A splendid view of the city. This is the first time I ever had my father with me while visiting towns, cities & countries away from Home And the first time either of us had visited Baltimore.
After going through the town we took tea with Br Hollister. We then returned to the tavern whare we spent the night. I called upon one Brother And his family the ownly Saints residing in the city. They were baptized by Elder O. Pratt in Washingtom The whole distance of the day 110 miles.
