This is my Birth day Through the mercy of God I have
been preserved on the Earth in the flesh to see 85 years
And this has been by the power of God, for there has
been an Evil power following me to Destroy me from
the day of my birth but the power of God has prevailed
to preserve my life untill the present day for which I am
in duty bound to acknowledge the hand of God therein
Keys crossed I held a Meeting at my house in the Evening with the
Presidency of the Church & 12 Apostles And the
Bishoprick we had a house full I called upon

& Dedicated the House & all its surrounding unto the
Lord. we had supper & music & speeches untill 11 oclok
