State Line, Illinois, April 9, 1876 —Visited Mr. Wm. Cunningham this morning. Spent the forenoon of the day very pleasantly in conversation with him and his family. Had dinner with them and returned to Mr. Johnsons’s and bidding them goodby, came on up to Mr. Mort Lindsay’s where we stopped tonight. Spoke at the Price schoolhouse to a very large audience, on the prophecies, who paid close attention to what we had to say.

Johnsonville, Illinois, April 10, 1876 —Came to this point and secured the Brush College to speak in. Stopped
at Mr. Jas. Johnson’s and was kindly treated. Miss Dora played on the piano
which I appreciated. Spoke to a good audience.
Warren County, Indiana, April 11, 1876 —Raining this morning
hard. Remained at Jas. Johnson’s during the forenoon. Came in town to Mr. Wagner’s
and stayed all night. Obtained the School House to hold meeting in. Warm and
pleasant this afternoon.
Alvin, Illinois, April 12, 1876 —Went over to the Wabash River in
the morning and secured another school house to hold meeting in. Came back to
Mr. Frank Salt’s where I stayed over night. Spoke at the School house to a fair
audience. Looks stormy.
April 13, 1876 —Came over to Mr. Lyon’s and leaving our valises,
we started for Covington, distance some seven miles, had a lontg tiresome walk.
Received a letter from Mellie and one from Jimmie. Spoke at the Bunker Hill
school house to a good sized audience. Came home with a Mr. Wm. Salts, who
treated me kindly. This farm is the one that Brother John Murdock was born on
and quite a number of Mormon people went from this locality. We are now in
Indiana and have been well treated and kindly received by all. There appears to
be a different atmosphere here to what there is in Illinois. Am in hopes that
we shall be able to do a good work in the neighborhood.
Covington is a city in and the county seat of Fountain County, Indiana.

I'm so happy when I read they were treated kindly!
