I dreamed last night that Capt Wm H Hooper was
Dead I told my family this morning that when I heard
from him I should hear he was ^dead^ And Br Jaques informed
me at the Historians office, that He died at 20 minuts to 8 oclok. I saw
Capt Hooper in the spirit world in my dream. I saw his location and
the limits by which he was bound and could not pass. I had a view
of mansions in the Celestial Kingdom of God which were comp-
osed of beautiful stones and materials, and were actual Buildings
as any on the Earth and that the Best Architects in heaven were
imployed in their building

and Sanbernadeno by rail
