Judgment. In speaking of the war it is said that the South

a vary good Blessing Brother Kimball also Blessed Br George
Pecock & gave him a good Blessing. In speaking of Geneol-
ogy & History President Young said I care so little about it in my
feelings & spirit that as far as I am concerned that I should
not make more than one page of History. Still I like to see such
things got up Joseph would tell more in one hour about Geneology
than the world can in a year He was particular about such
things much more so than I am but I expect He will be with
us. I expect if I live to be 80 years old I am in hops to have
some of the wisdom that Moses Had. He spoke of a remark
that He made in the 13 ward about Harris being sent here as Governor
