I spent the fore part of the day in assisting Wilford to make out his Journal of his life. I have taught him to keep a Journal of his life to commence while young & keep it up through life as I consider evry good man should do who holds the Holy Priesthood & record his official acts that his children and future Generations may know what he has done & the dealings of the Lord with him.
