[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 7th Saturday I was sea sick this morning And vomited some. We have still head wind And make but slow progress which is vary discourageing to us considering our situation As our business requires haste but we would console ourselves the best we could. Each one would tell what he would do when he got on shore. We first would take a dish of oysters to gether. I would take A keg of Oysters & some Clams And A fresh codfish to My father & Mother from New Haven. (I must see that I do it.) Each one was to take there friends sumthing so we would occasionally feed upon these reflections.
One man A steerage passenger got several buckets of water flung on to him & the rope's end for his filthiness about the floor. The man that broke his Choler bone is getting better.
