23rd Tuesday I took the parting hand with father and mother with great satisfaction a peculier charm was
thrown around my soul as I left the threshhold of
my fathers house, having the confidence that if I
never see my father in the flesh again I shall meet
him again ^in^ the first resurrection. I had a desire in
my heart that all the ordinances of the fulness
of the gospel might also be administered unto father
and mother Carter that they may sleep in peace
