23rd [FIGURES] I spent the day at the office I looked
over Elder Lorenzo D. Barnes Trunk
I examined his corressponding letters from
Miss Susan Conrad and other friends I
carefully filed them all with his own composit-
ions & Journals Patriarchal Blessings &c Also
A dozen or more Peaces of choice coin of ancient
Date & characters which he probably collected
for the British Museum Nauvoo Museum also
one weight as a standard for sovreigns and
his gold finger ring all of which I carefully
put in a package & sealed it with wax &
stamped it with a large Masonic stamp & wrote
upon the outside of it stating what it contai-
ned & Directed it to the Presidency of the
Church in Nauvoo. I also Packed into his
trunk one carpet bag, one splended Buffalo robe
worked with Indian Beads, one overcoat, 2 pair
of Pants, A Dress coat, several vests, three stocks,
handkerchiefs, shirts, bosoms, collars spencers,
gloves, 2 cases of raisers, two Pocket Books
containing deeds of land, & other papers one
crown in the small Pocket Book 5/ for the
Museum & a variety of other things all of which
was carefully Packed into his trunk to be sent
to Nauvoo when an opportunity offers 4 mile
After I retired to rest at night I fell asleep
And had the following dream I was in company
with a number of the Twelve & other Brethren
I thought I had Just returned to Nauvoo
from my English mission we met with Br
Joseph Smith the Prophet I shook hands with him
And asked him if he & his family were well he
said they were. I Thought the endowment had been
given & he was counciling us about taking a mission
abroad some portion of the time while talking he
sat in a chair & leaned upon my breast. He
said he was going to take a mission to India
& pointed out the man to go with him but I
cannot now calk him by name. G. A. Smith
asked liberty of Joseph to become betterr
acquainted with me or to spend more time with
me that we might be prepared to take a mission
together it was granted him. O Prat had his
mission appointed I do not know whare. Lyman
Wight was spoken of do not recollec what was
said we had an interesting time together all
seemed happy to once more see the Prophet
