& repented in dust & ashes as it were for opposing
Joseph & the Twelve &c. we met at Brigham
Youngs the first Presidency & the Twelve

Ice & Baptized Orson Pratt & his wife &
Widow Granger Joseph confirmed them
& ordaind Orson Pratt to the Apostleship &
& his former standing which caused Joy to
our hearts. Elder Amasa Lyman who had
been appointed in his stead as a member of
