and ate breakfast at the table. I told Bro. Nuttall this morning, that as
I was now feeling so well, and his office work was crowding him, also
that I wished him to write up my journal for the past 4 or 5 weeks. I
would relieve him from his close attention on me. this was quite agreeable

meeting of the Presidency and apostles at the Temple and felt well
whilst with the brethren. afterwards at the office I had a severe sinking
