Journal Entry

August 21, 1844 ~ Wednesday

21st I met in council with the Twelve by the
request of Elder Lyman Wight as he wished some
council, but he was sick and could not attend
so the council dispersed.

In the afternoon Elders B. Young H. C. Kimball
W. Richards and J. Taylor each in company with
his Lady except Sister Young spent a portion
of the afternoon at my house on a visit, and
took supper with me. I estem it a favor to have
the company of any of the Twelve. It begins to
be sickly in Nauvoo some I am almost daily
