I dreamed last night that the L D Saints were holding a [FIGURES] great Conference at Salt Lake City at the great Temple and thousands of Mechanics were laboring hard to finish the Temple I was requested to open the Conference As I was an Exile and they might not have me with them long the [FIGURE] Key of the Temple was given me to open it As I went to the door A large company were assembbled and I overtook President Brigham Young and He asked what the matter was with the great company at the Door some one Ans[were]d the Elders did not want to Let the people into the Temple He said oh, oh, oh and turned to me & said let all all into the Temple who seek for Salvation I saw several who were Dead and among the Number my wife Phebe I Believe there is some meaning to this dream
