Autobiography Volume 2 circa 1865
On the which was the seventh day of the week and on this the Sabbath day of ancient Israel at 6 o'clock in the morning the last stone was laid on the Temple of the Lord at Nauvoo with shouts of grace unto it. Glory to God in the Highest who finished his work on the seventh day and rested. So may the Saints rest! Thus I wrote in my Journal upon The Laying of the Last Stone of the Nauvoo Temple.
