Soon after we commenced housekeeping, my brother Horace Barnes came to see us from York state Chatauque co. He spent a week or more with us. We went with him to see the prophet, but I think he was absent; he saw father Smith, and Emma, who showed him the records of Abraham, that were found with the mummies, and explained the characters to us, as she has heard her husband explain them. We said all we could to enlighten his mind.
