170 years ago today - Jun 23, 1843

[Heber C. Kimball] I sent a leter to my son Wm. and one to my wife. O that I was such a man as I would desire to be, and Thou O God knowest I wish [to] be pure in hart, that all of /my/ sins may be bloted out that no one of them may ever appear before me in time or through out /all/ Eternity, or Ever sepperate me from my dear Vilate or anny of those that are con[ne]cted to /me/ by the ties of Na[t]ure. Thou knowest I Love my dear family, and may it increas more and more, that now [no] power can sepperate us from Each other, that we may dwell to gether through out all Eternity, and thare be in thrond [enthroned] on worlds, to propragate that thare may be no end to us or our Seeds. I desire to be wise and filled with Knowledge, even the knowledge of God. Let not Thy servent feet slip or do anny thing to bring a stane on his caricter or on the caus of Christ which he has imbraced. Now Father in Heaven I ask The[e] to seel these blessing on my head and all that belongs to me, and Thy nam shall have all the glory through Jesus Christ Amen.

This I rote on the 23 of June.
