Mrs Woodruff. I dined with Br Wm Boothe &
his wife Sarah Booth & Sister Mary Ann Mitchell

saw numbers of the Lunatics standing at the
windows as we passed along we visited the new
Catholic cathedral which is a splendid edifice

went to attend a council of the Saints whare
the case of Elder Albom was tried for rejecting

for a week before the vote of the Church was
taken to give him a chance to confess his fault if
he saw proper After this case was closed during
which time several uneasy spirits showed themselves
I addressed the Saints for a few moments in the
power of God & the Priesthood & rebuked those who
would not harken to council 8 miles
