[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 10 Sunday I met with my Quorum in the morning & attended Meeting in the 14 ward John R. Winder Bishop. In the evening Br Ship spoke. I followed.
The City of Boston has been burning now for 24 hour. 100,000,000 dollar worth of property Destroyed. Telegraph say 300 Acres of the Heart of the City burned. I red in Meeting the latter part of the 4 section of the Doctrins & Covenants Containing the Commandment of the Lord to Newel K Whitney to go to the Cities of Albany New York, & Boston & warn those Cities of the utter Desolation which await[ed?] them if they rejected the gospel & the Message sent to them. If they did their hour of Desolation was Nigh & their house should be left unto them Desolate & this is the begining of the fulfillment. I spoke abot 40 M & was folowed by O Pratt.
