it was taken from me when I awoke I flew through the air
from state to state & escaped from the hand of my enemies I
went to HEAVEN and saw the Saints in their employment I saw
Joseph & Hiram Smith & many others who had died of the Latter
Day Saints, the innumerable company of saints which I saw seemed
to be prepairing for some grand & important event which I
could not understand many were busily ingaged in making
crowns for the Saints one crown did not suit the artist so
they cut it into in the middle to make it over new the saints
were all dressed in white robes both male and female, my soul
was filled with Joy & glory while I gazed upon the scenery that
surrounded me but I awoke and behold it was a dream
