Abraham Lincoln inaugurated as 16th President of 26 states.
29 It is warmer to day it has been vary cold for more than
a week. I spent the fore noon making gates, and the afternoon
in the office Journalizing I wrote a letter to My daughter Phebe
yesterday. All the Preseidency met at the Historians office
W. Woodruff & F. D. Richards of the Twelve was also present
Warren Stone Snow was Blessed By President Young who gave him
a vary good Blessing Brother Kimball also Blessed Br George
Pecock & gave him a good Blessing. In speaking of Geneol-
ogy & History President Young said I care so little about it in my
feelings & spirit that as far as I am concerned that I should
not make more than one page of History. Still I like to see such
things got up Joseph would tell more in one hour about Geneology
than the world can in a year He was particular about such
things much more so than I am but I expect He will be with
us. I expect if I live to be 80 years old I am in hops to have
some of the wisdom that Moses Had. He spoke of a remark
that He made in the 13 ward about Harris being sent here as Governor
He also said to Brother Kimball I took the liberty to curse those who
will still sustain our Enemies
