Many kind friends were there to bid us good Bye Sister [Mary Sanders Frame] and Bro [David] Frame Bro [Henry B.] Thompson and [John B.] Young Sister [Emily] Penfold and my self were all leaving at once. The saints and elders and our friends all treated us very good and I left with tears in my eyes a place where I have passed so many hours of pain and pleasure, far more of the latter of course. As I looked out of the car window every thought that came to me was tinged with this one Good bye bonny Scotland the land of the Heather hills I’m going home! home! once more.

We arrived in Liverpool just after 7 o’clock and after supper went to a meeting sort of a farewell for the presidency

June 6^th. Sister Penfold and I wandered off by our selves to have the last forenoon together, went down some of the principle streets, past the art gallery etc had some dinner. Went with Bros Lee and Nibley and had some Ice Cream and then went to the “New England” the boat that is to take me home. There are 75 mormons on board¹ [p. 142]

<June—On Board The New England>

The first day I felt fine but since then I have had a sort of a shaky feeling. Have done nothing much, slept a good deal, paraded the deck, grumbled cause I was sick. Tended the baby and done other things that are not worth mentioning.² Today is the 12 of June and the nearer we come to the land the higher my spirits get till I’m not quite sure what I’ll do when once more I land on American Soil. Last night there was a concert but it wasn’t up to much. [p. 143]
