April 29^th I slept from midnight to 7:⁴⁰ a.m 5 1/2 hours. Dressed
and ate breakfast at the table. I told Bro. Nuttall this morning, that as
I was now feeling so well, and his office work was crowding him, also
that I wished him to write up my journal for the past 4 or 5 weeks. I
would relieve him from his close attention on me. this was quite agreeable
to him as he had felt I was so much improved in my health. We started for
the office at 9⁵⁰ and I entered upon my office work. I attended our
meeting of the Presidency and apostles at the Temple and felt well
whilst with the brethren. afterwards at the office I had a severe sinking
spell could not speak plain or call any one by name. BrDr Snow called in
