[Joseph Smith Diary] 8th Monday morning the 8th Attended School at the us[u]al hour. Nothing worthy of note transpired. In the afternoon lectured in upper room of the printing office with some of the brethren. At evening visited Mr. Seixas in company with Presidents Rigdon and Cowdery. He converses freely [and] is an interesting man.
This day Elder Parrish my scribe received my journal again. His health is so much improved that he thinks he will be able, with the blessing of God, to perform this duty. (2)
