we had one of the most interesting conferences
I ever attended iabroad in the vineyard much of
the spirit of the Lord & union rested ^upon^ the vast
congregation of the Saints I lade hands upon
12 & administered to them for sickness, at the
close of the conference I went home with Br
Flint & spent the night. And had the following
Dream. I visited the flouring mill in
Farmington Ct whare I found my father
Aphek Woodruff who had attended those mills
for the last 30 years I looked upon my father
who appeared to be so infirm & feeble he could
not walk & said he felt strang[e] I went to his help
he seemed to be struck with death he fell into my
arms I called upon Uncle Ozem Woodruff
who was present to come to my assistance he
did so & it seemed that father was about
breatheing his last, & I awoke, & their was a
deep impression left upon my mind by the dream
I some fear I shall not behold my fathers face
again in the flesh but time will determin.
