The first of these diary transcripts covers the years from approximately 1851-1853, with references back to 1844. In it, James Farmer gives a brief description of his family and youth, leading up to his conversion to Mormonism while living in Leicester, England. It emphasizes his mission work with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in England, as well as the religious opposition faced by the LDS Church. The diary also describes his decision to "go home to Zion" (Utah) and his sea voyage from Liverpool to New Orleans.
