Feb 4, 1879
we Baptized in the Temple today 1099 for the dead I wrote 3 letters to John TaylorWilford and Jaques I had a conversation with Henry W Miller who says he was present
when Joseph Smith the prophet deposited the Original
Manuscript of the Book of Mormon it was deposited
in the South East Cornor of the Lot when He deposited
it He said sumthing like this. I deposit this Manuscript
in the name of the Lord for I have had much trouble about
about it since it has been in my hands But I now commit
it into thy hands O God for safe keeping untill the coming
of the Son of Man then this with all other Records will
be brought forth by the Lord At the End of the Thousand years
rest Satan will be let loose for a little season which I expect
will be One thousand years. Then he will use his last power
on the Earth and He will seek to destroy all the word of God out
of the Earth and the Lord would have to protect it
