Fri Sep 9, 1853

Employed in writing letters; wrote to Brs. Johnson, Farrer, Bigler and to Uaua for him to ask the king for the piece of land that my house stands on, there is about a ½ acre of it. Afternoon I attended meeting at Br. Solomon’s, I took little Francis A. Jr. with me. Nohoka, a deacon, brought us a fine parcel of sweet potatoes and kalo, and a few small fish. The brethren are more attentive to our wants than they have been heretofore, I pray the Lord to bless them for it.
