April 4th

A folded letter/box I got a letter from Orrin Wight giving an account of
the death of Liman Wight It is a plesant morning but
their is still a good deal of snow on the ground I spent most
of the day in the office Elder Lorenzo Snow called at my house
And in company with him and Mrs P. W. Woodruff
and my daughter Phebe Amelia I went to Presi-
dent Brigham Young's and he sealed Phebe Amelia
Woodruff to Elder Lorenzo Snow. He took supper
with his family at my house Sister Smoot was also
present I think a dream which I had a short time since
was fulfilled {A dark cloud was in the dream}
