[Apostle John Henry Smith Diary] Salt Lake City
I am thirty four years old today and I am in good health and spirits. My wives and children are all happy and well, and while our government is making exertions to bring trouble upon the saints all is well in Zion.
My wife Sarah gave me a gold collar button. My wife Josephine gave me Gaskels Compendium.
I bought fifty steel engravings of my father, and will scatter them among the family.
