He asked if there had been any note made of his meeting in Nauvoo at Joseph's house at the time Hyrum preached the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants as the Standards while "I took the ground that they were of no account to us without a living Prophet and revelation." I told President Young that I would examine and see. I afterwards found that it was recorded in my Daily Journal. Next day I was reading History and President Kimball called.
