Day in the Life

Journal Entry

June 30, 1841 ~ Wednesday

30th ^ A folded letter/box^ I received a letter from Eunice & Mother
Woodruff informing me that Sister Eunice

was nigh unto death had a relaps of her
sickness & also informed me that Br Webster
had returned, & visited them. It seemed
from the Import of the letter that it had been through
a great struggle, exercise of faith, & the mercy
of God that Eunice was in the land of the living.
I immediately carried her case befor the Lord
& plead in her behalf & I was blessed with
a testimony that she would recover & that
I should soon see her face to face

[FIGURE] I also recieved 2 New York Papers from
Ilus one of which contained an account of the
taking of President Joseph Smith, b^y^ a writarrant
of Governor Carlin under the requisition of the
Governor of Missouri, & was however brought up
on a hab habeas corpus the intent is to deliver
him to the governor of Missouri the paper
also stated that their was much excitement
among the Saints upon the subject &c.
The spirit of persecution has been kept alive
against the Saints in all ages of the world
& will not long sleep untill the Ancient of Days
shall sit. I spent the day at Sister Foss
