[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 26th I went to Boston And recieved 5 letters from Phebe W Woodruff, Smith Tuttle, James Whitehead, Edward Cook, And Lydia Hartford. After seeing the water spout in the common, I took Cars with Br Nathaniel Corey And rode to New Bedford. Spent the night with Gilbert Manchester 142 North Second street. I wrote two Letters to Phebe W Woodruff & James Whitehead. 75 miles.
I spent the day writing. I wrote one letter to Lydia Hartford. I read an account of the Temple of Nauvoo being burnt on the 9th Oct by our enemies.
In reading the papers of yesterday I learned that All Europe was filled with Riot war distress And calamities of Almost evry kind Also that the Cholery had made its Appearance in London Glasgow Edinburgh & others places in that Country. Truly the wrath of God is resting upon the gentile world. $1,000,000 worth of fishing boats were destroyed on the Coasts of Scotland in one storm & 150 fishermen loss there lives. Also $1,000,000 worth of American shipping lost in one storm on our coast.
