And I pray the Lord he may again get well for many
reasons one is the Twelve have administered to him
many times and felt moved upon at times to promis
him that he should live and get well and stand in the
midst of his brethren and also to administer to his
family this I promised him once while the Twelve and
all his wives were administering to him at the same
time I attended the Bishops meeting this evening
with Elder Thomas Kington I addressed the Bishops
and had the spirit of the Lord we are now begining
to ordain our young sons to the lesser ^priesthood^ here in Zion
