December 01, 1841 ~ Wednesday

Dec 1^st A plesent day I spent a part of the day
in writing

[FIGURE] I wrote a letter to L. R. Foster 13 Oliver st N. Y
& requested him to send me some money

After retiring to rest at night I was called upon by
Brother Meeks to go with him to lay hands upon
his wife who was possessed with a devil I went
with him to his house & found his wife foaming in
great agony I lade hands upon her & rebuked
the devil & he came out of her & she soon fell
asleep & I returned home, & If I had judg-
ed from outward appearances I should thave thought
the devil followed me home & entered into
our cat for she made the most awful noise through
the night I ever herd I also had a disagreeable
dream, {between Joseph and myself} which I considerd to be from
the devil. I met in council with the Twelve in evening

laying on of hands
