Quotes

Elder Allexander Badlam arived home to day from the gold diggings of San Francisco to Cambridge- port He had been gone one year to that country He was truly glad to get home & we were glad to see him He Brought $2000 dollars worth of gold dust And He broug- ht me A present of 9 1/2 oz. of gold dust as A present from several Brethren in the mines. And this begins to fulfill A portion of my Patriarchal Blessings which I received under the Hands of Father Joseph Smith in AD 1837. He said I should have access to the treasures hid in the sand to assist me in my necessities & in gathering many orphan children to Zion And it is begining to come to pass
