Wilford arrives in Boston to attend convention; nominate Joseph Smith for President of the United States.
Aug 5th Monday this is the day of election in this
state their will probably be some fighting and perhaps
some blood shed as men are geting wicked and
about ripe for judgment, their was some fighting
in the bar room below last evening but nothing
vary serious. Elder Kimball had a dream last evening
thought he was preaching to a large congregation
said the Prophet Joseph Smith had laid the foundation
for a great work and it was now for us to build
upon it. He thought Br Joseph was present and appeared
natural. We took the steemer St Croix and
left Galena for Nauvoo we had a plesant sail
through the day and evening, though some
unplesant feelings during the evening.
