March 1, 1879 At 10 oclok this morning I followed John D.
T McAllister into the creation room in St George Temple I
there met with 159 Brethren and Sisters who had met to get
their Endowm[en]ts for the dead and all but 10 of them had met to get
Endowments for my Dead friends as a Birth day Present for me
100 women & 48 Men were going through for me. My appearance
in the room was a great surprise to the company for they did not
know that I was in the city. My first salutation as I Entered
the room was Hosannah to God and the Lamb. Glory Alleluia
God Bless Zion, God Bless the Saints, God Bless those who are here
By this time myany Eyes were filled with tears. I went through
the labors of the day and officiated as Ell J. D. T. McAllister as Ye
D H Cannon as P. I took a few through the veil among the rest
Brother & Sister Samuel Hardy. Then I went to the Alter in com-
pany with Sister Mariah Marks Harmon who officiated as
Proxy for my Dead friends And I had sealed to me at the
Alter 74 single women who were dead, which makes 267 in all
of the dead single women who have been sealed to me in the Endowm[en]t
House in Salt Lake City, and in the St George Temple. I also was sealed
today for 65 couple of dead friends of the Hart family Making 139
sealings and 7 Adoptions Making 146 sealings and Adoptions in one
