Day in the Life

Dec 13, 1893

Journal Entry

December 13, 1893 ~ Wednesday

13 I spent the day in the office I met with quite
a Number of Parties upon Business
13 [FIGURES] Glory to God in the Highest for He
fulfills his word to the Sons of Men. What we
have been looking for so Long came to Pass
this day. The House of Representatives of
the Congress of the United States P^assed^ a Bill for
the Admission of Utah into the Union with
Equal Powers of the other states with ownly five
5 opposing votes. I think it is an Event unheard
of in the whole History of the American Government
we trust it will soon Pass the Senate, and
be signed by the President & soon become a Law
we received Telegrams from G. Q. Cannon
Col Trumbo, & Gen Clarkson, which we answered
by Telegram. Also sent congratulations to Rawlins
