Thought I would live to see this date But I have lived to see it
as well as some of my Brethren. Great changes have taken
Place in the Church in some respects and in the world, the Church
has been organized with A first Presidency for the third
time & the Quorum of the Twelve filled up & in these changes through
The provide[nce] of God I have been Appointed the President of the
Twelve Apostles. I Pray that I may have Grace and wisdom
to assist me to magnify my calling in this capacity
