^I have never shed a tear since I heard of the death of
the prophets untill this morning but my whole soul has felt nerved
up like steel^
17th Elder B. Young arived in Boston this morning
I walked with him to 57 Temple st and called
upon Sister Voice. Br Young took the bed and I the
big chair, and I here veiled my face and for the
first time gave vent to my grief and mourning
for the Prophet and Patriarch of the Church
Joseph and Hiram Smith who were murdered by
a gentile mob, after being bathed by a flood of tears
I felt composed. Elder Young left the city I spent
the night with at Br Phelps
