Day in the Life

Journal Entry

May 06, 1862 ~ Tuesday

6. I spent most of the day filing family papers or corresponding
Letters. I visited Brother A. O. Smoot I found him vary sick
I laid hands upon him with Dr Jeter Clinton & prayed
for him. His family was discouraged about him fearing He
would die. On my return to the office I spoke to President
B Young about him He said He would be around again
in few days He saw him in a dream the night before &
thought He would soon get well
