>Autobiography of Parley P. Pratt (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 Pratthad 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 brotherof my brother Nelson and his family, who accompanied me to the railroad station, and bid me an affectionate farewell. >S:PPU P16
