Day in the Life

Feb 7, 1848

Journal Entry

February 07, 1848 ~ Monday

7th I spent most of the day reading I read a pamphlet called
the voice of truth, containing the Prophet Joseph Smith
views of the powers & policy of the government of the United
States, and corressppondence with Gen James Arlington Bennett,
appeal to the green mountain Boys, correspondence with, John
C. Calhoon, and Henry Clay, a friendly hint to Missouri, and an
interesting sermon from President Smith. These letters &
writings are of much interest & show the spirit of the tim-
es & the mighty rebuke of wicked men by that great, good,
& wise Prophet Joseph I was much edifyed in reading it
I spent the evening in reading the book of Jasher & was
edifyed with that Br Benbow & myself laid hands upon a
sick youth
