Autobiography Volume 2 circa 1865
The I went through the
city of Nauvoo saw many friends and met in council with
the quorum of the Twelve at Elder Taylor's whom we found
recovering from his wounds received at the massacre of the
Prophet and Patriarch of the Church
We felt to rejoice at again having
the privilege of meeting together in council in Nauvoo
after passing through such trying scenes and to be welcomed
by the Saints who considered it providential for the Twelve
to arrive at this particular juncture when their minds were
agitated their hearts sorrowfull and darkness seemed to
cloud their path feeling like sheep without a shepherd their
beloved Prophet having been taken away
We spent the forepart of the day in
council at brother Taylor's and in the afternoon at 4 o'clock
the Twelve the High Council and the High Priests met
at the Seventies Hall
