(1985 edition - p. 404-405)
January 1st, 1857.-
A letter from my brother Nelson announces that all is well there, and they are overjoyed to hear that I am to visit them. He is trying to sell and go to the valley.
Brother Orson writes to me that all is well with him.
I have gone as far East as I intend to go. I hope soon to commence to return westward, visiting my brother Nelson as I go.
February 1857:
Wednesday, 4th.- Stayed at a hotel, and on the 6th took train at 12 M. and arrived at Hanover, Huron County, Ohio, at 4 P.M. Here a neighbor volunteered to carry me half a mile to my brother, Nelson Pratt’s. We were overjoyed to see each other after twenty-one years’ absence. He had a wife and three children living, viz: a son, Edwin Delano Pratt, aged twenty years; and two daughters, Helen Orisa, aged fourteen, and Aurelia Fenetto, aged twelve years. Remained and visited with my brother and family; talked, read, reasoned, etc., until the 11th, when I had a call from a young school teacher named Pratt, perhaps a distant relative, who had a spirit of inquiry and was teachable. We conversed much, and I lent him some books. As he and others were soliciting a meeting, I finally consented to appoint one for Thursday evening at the school house near my brother’s. In fulfilment of this appointment I preached to a large congregation in a capacious school house.
Friday, 13th.-At noon took leave of my brother Nelson and his family, who accompanied me to the railroad station, and bid me an affectionate farewell.
