Day in the Life

Sep 22, 1842

Journal Entry

September 22, 1842 ~ Thursday

232nd Spent the day choreing about home I had
an interview with Elders Young & Kimball
who had returned home for a few days
to get some printing done they were going
out again in few days to hold conferences
through this state. they had met in council
with Joseph who thought it wisdom for
Elder Taylor & myself to remain at home
& attend to Printing. The Lord hath opened
a door within a few days for puting the
town of Keokirk into the hands of the Saints
& Joseph's council was for me to go to keokirk
& publish a political paper & Elder Taylor
publish the Times & Seasons in Nauvoo so I
am aranging the affairs of my family to
do as the Lord may direct. In addition to
my own &c sickness Mrs Woodruff has had
a rising on both of her thumbs which appears

to be a species of the fellen which has caused her
much pain for two or three weeks. Also our Babe
Phebe Amelia has been quite sick for two or
three weeks & for two days has been considerd
dangerous
