Autobiography Volume 3 circa 1865-1866
a company of men were called to go on mission some to Europe and some with brother Blair West on an exploring tour. Elder Thomas Bullock our chief clerk in the Historian's Office was among the number bound for Europe. The First Presidency—Brigham Young Heber C. Kimball and Jedediah M Grant spent the afternoon of the next day in hearing the Minutes of the April Conference of 1844 read which was the last Conference the Twelve spent with the Prophet Joseph before his death The next two days the Presidency and Daniel H. Wells were in the Office hearing History read. On the second day we finished up to the death of Joseph in Carthage ^Jail^ The brethren felt full and that they had heard enough for one day. We all dined at Brother Kimball's namely the Presidency Daniel H Wells and myself.
