Dec 29, 1887
we held a Meeting with the City Council and discussed
the propriety of Granting a Minority representative
in the City Council which all presient unanimously
voted to do I spent the night at B Y Hamptons
I had an interview with David

December 30, 1887 ~ Friday

30. I signed 15 Recommends. I received 15 Letters I
wrote 5 Letters we had a hard Thunder
storm last night in the midst of a snow storm
we went to the farm and spent the night Emma
went to to Harry Herald to a party

December 31, 1887 ~ Saturday

31^st A Hard snow storm Mrs Ship came & visited
Clara washed her & changed clothing & she was Better
she has suffered much for the Last two days
I wrote a Letter to Charles Rinwood
about taking the farm I attended the Theater in
the Evening in my Box with G Q. Cannon & J F Smith & wife
& Emma & Wilken & Bateman and herd Dixie in his great
play Adonia

Thus Ends the year 1887 which has been a peculiar
year for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
The prisions are filled with Elders of Israel Because
they will not abondon their wives & children. It will be
all right with the saints of God if they will ownly commit
Adultry, fornication & whoredoms as the Gentile Christians do
and not Marry their women But the whole Christian
world seem to be persecuting the Saints of God and seeking
their destruction we will see what 1888 will bring forth
On the following Page will be found my Labor in 1887
