then to fully perfect the happiness of my soul to enjoy an Eternity in the celestial kingdom of God with my wife & children to part no more forever & not ownly to fully bask in the greetness [greatness] of the glory of God but to enjoy evry sentiment of the fulness of affection & love towards a bosom friend having evry desire of the soul fully satisfied to the highest state of felicity that can possibly vibrate the Immortal Breast towards one that is bone of our bone & flesh of our flesh. O Eternal rest happiness & felicity I long for thee.
~ Wilford Woodruff
Phebe Please kiss little Sarah & Willford for me I dream of being with you occasioally I look forward with great antic- ipation & happiness when I can once more embrace my Dear Wife & chilidren in my arms whare I can spend a little season with them even before the coming of christ but that joy is highened to a greater degree when I think of reigning with Phebe & the children which God will give us for one thousendend years whare our love & affe- ction will be increased to as much greater degree then any thing known in this life as our light & glory will be above what we now enjoy & then to fully perfect the happiness of my soul to enjoy an Eternity in the celestial kingdom of God with my wife & children to part no more forever & not ownly to fully bask in the greetness [greatness] of the glory of God but to enjoy evry sentiment of the fulness of affection & love towards a bosom friend having evry desire of the soul fully satisfied to the highest state of felicity that can possibly vibrate the Immortal Breast towards one that is bone of our bone & flesh of our flesh. O Eternal rest happiness & felicity I long for thee. but I will wait patiently for thy reproach for thou art nigh the door Willfodrd Willford
