Journal Entry

May 29, 1897 ~ Saturday

May 29th Slept some better after midnight, but not as much as I needed.
I learned this morning by telephone that Bro Heber J. Grant had been
taken to St Mary's Hospital and was undergoing an operation for
Appendicitis, the attack came on yesterday evening. I took a walk &
had my breakfast. Bro B. Young called with a carriage I rode with
him twice around the park. Bro J. R. Winder called & explained
the case of Bro H J Grant. Bro. S. Bateman & wife called also A. Brixen
& wife who brought me some schrimps, these I enjoyed for my supper
with the family. at Prayers I prayed earnestly for Bro Grant that he
might recover. On going to bed I slept tolerably well.

He notes in his Jour-
nal that Bro. Heber J. Grant was taken
to the Hospital for a operation for
appendicitis, and that he prayed earnestly
for his recovery. Upon Bro. Grant's
recovery Prest. Woodruff kindly
ordered a carriage to carry Bro.
Grant to his home, that showing
his kindly interest in his affected
brother and co-laborer.
