Kirtland Ohio

BY PATRIARCH JOSEPH SMITH

Nov 10^th 1836

Sister in the name of Jesus of Nazareth and by
the power and authority of the Holy Priesthood which
God hath confered upon me I lay my hands upon thy
head and place a seal on thy forehead and if thou
art faithful and keep the commandments of God no
power shall take it off. It shall be a seal against
the destroyer. No blessing in heaven shall be too
great for thee. Thou hast thought much on thy
Redeemer. Thou must call on God the Father
in the name of his Son and he will open the
heavens and rend the va^e^il that thou mayest see the
Son of man standing on the right hand of Power

Thou has^t^ suffered in former days
by being deprived of friends unto whom thou couldst
unbosom thy mind. Thou has sorrowed in the night
season and in solitary places. No one knew thy sorrow
or saw thy tears but God thy Father.

Be comforted for thy troubles are over
and God will pour out his blessings upon thee

Thou shalt have long life and see good
days. Thou shalt be the Mother of many Children.
