16th January 1846. I went on board the ship Liverpool with my family & 40 other Saints. Elders Hedlock, Fielding, Mechacie, & myself went out with the ship about 10 miles. We then took the parting hand with my family & all the Saints & returned in a small boat & left them floating before a good breeze. I returned to Liverpool & was very busy the remained part of the day. [p.5]
