19^th I have been called upon to visit the sick many times during the last few days & admi
nister unto them by the laying on of hands for theiir is many of the Saints that are sick. I crossed
the river this morning with Elder Taylor. We visited father Joseph Smith ^sen & found him
still vary sick we prayed with him & layed hands upon him & he received a blessing, & after
travling about two miles further, I had the happy privilege of once more taking Elder PARLE-
Y P. PRATT by the [FIGURES] hand, & also O Pratt & Heber Kimble. Br Parley had
just arived at Commerce from Joal [Jail] in Boon County Mo whare he had been confined about 8
months for the cause of Jesus Christ. I was truly glad to see him. in a short time Joseph &
Hiram & others soon rode up to see Parley & in fine it was a happy meeting I returned
home to Montrose feeling thankful to God for his deliverance

the Saints on both sides of the river & Joseph went through the midst of them taking
