I thought I must go & see the Prophet of God first of all, that was my desire. I was told where he lived & went there, rapped on the door & he came & opened it bade me come in & be seated. Then questioned from whare I was from, & of my coming into the Church &c, & made me welcome. Thare was quite a little company in that evening his brother Hyrum, R Cahoon, Martin Harris, John Carle the Architect of the Temple, & George A Smith, perhapse others. We had a very pleasent time, drank pepper & cider & had supper. I thought he was a queer man for a Prophet, at first, he didn't appear ecactly as I expected to see a Prophet of God, however I was not stumbled at all. I found him to be a friendly cheerful pleasent agreable man. I could not help likeing him. I stopped over night & took breakfast there in the morning, he showed me the records of the mummies & explained them to me. he could [illegible strikeout] read them, they written in language of the book of Mormon on the plates. very interesting.
