Thursday, August 5, 1875

Aug. 5th. I walked with Brothers Morris and Steed through Coleville to Leadboro, eight miles, where we took the train to Hereford, fifteen miles. Dined with Brother R. Johnson, then engaged a hall for meeting tomorrow night and a street crier to announce it. Visited Castle Green which was destroyed by Cromwell about 300 years ago. It was once enclosed with a moat and wall, as was the city, anciently. Also visited St. John's Cathedral, erected in the seventeenth century. It has similar picture windows to those in the Abbey at Malvern - reproducing windows is said to have cost $300,000. It is very substantial. In the evening we had a meeting with the Saints at the home of Mr. Wade. We each spoke, I, on the first principles, suiting my remarks to the family.
