We now left the temple, grove, and wooden oxen to get a glimpse of the prophet, and, reconnoitring about his house, I saw a board stuck up at the end on which was painted "Egyptian mummies exhibited, and ancient records explained. Price twenty-five cents.

My purse and the distance I had to travel to England seemed to say I must husband the cents and stay curiosity. On inquiring what these mummies were I found they had been exhibited in the States, and purchased by the prophet. The only thing farther that I could learn about the mummies was that one portion of them was the "leg of Pharoah's daughter," and as it was very questionable with me whether I should give twenty-five cents to see the whole living frame of Pharoah's daughter, I felt easy about seeing the "leg." The ancient records were said to be found by Smith somewhere, and that an angel had conducted him to the spot.
