Day in the Life
Journal Entry
August 09, 1898 ~ Tuesday
Tues Aug 89th Drove to the office. I called Bro Nuttall in & told him of my
contemplated trip to California with Pres Geo Q Cannon for a few weeks, and
that Bro H. B. Clawson was also going and would attend to me.
He expressed his fears in my behalf, knowing my condition. I
told him as the arrangements were made ^and^ while I would be glad to
have him go with me, it was thought I would get along all right.
He expressed his hopes to that effect. I have been very busy to
day and left for home at 4 p.m.
