Some time ago Bro Lorenzo Snow
attended our quart^er^ly conference. And
while here he staid with me. he
being Cousin to my Wife (Sariah Scovil
& children) I remarked to him that
many wondred, why there was not
some one appointed Patriarch besides
Bro H. Lunt as he is and has been out
of the way for some time. And many
desiring to have a Patriarchal Blessing
Bro Snow replied I ought to be
set apart to that office. I said if that
is your mind you may set me apart
he answered, No I must have the
consent of Bro Woodruff, some time
ago I got a letter from Bro L Snow
saying I had better write you on the
Subject, hence my reason for writing to you
