Monday, September 2nd. — Attended the funeral of Mary Stephens. Engaged in making preparations for my intended trip to New York, in order to meet my dear intended wife, Miss F., from England, in company with Brother E. Ryerson. I shall cheerfully give my hand and heart to my dear friend, and hope the blessing of the Great Spirit will rest upon us, and cause us to be eminently useful in his glorious cause, and be happy in each other's Society.
Sunday 8th. — Arrived at New York. Brother E. Ryerson and company had arrived in port on Tuesday last, having had the remarkably short passage of 25 days from Liverpool. The following are the persons who came in company with Mr. Ryerson from. England, Rev. George Marsden, Representative from the English Conference to the Canada Conference; Rev. Joseph Stinson, Superintendent of the Indian Missions in Canada; and a lady and two children; Miss Chettle and Miss Field from London. This day began a new era in my life's history. I hope and pray the important step I have been led to take by Divine Providence, as I think, may prove a blessing to me and to the Church. Dr. Nathan Bangs sah ming nebahweegoonon.
