6^th Presidents Kimball & J M Grant called into the Historians office
& conversed upon principle Brother Kimball said that any man
that was faithful in the priesthood would have all the blessings
He could imagin or think in his heart and when Father Joseph
Smith was on his dying bed I asked him to bless me so it might
be written as he had blessed me several times & it was not written
but Father Smith told me to write down every thing that I could think
of in my heart or imagin & he would sign it & it should come
to pass but He said a man must keep the Commandments of God
