At 6 P.M. met with the General Board of the Y.M.M.I.A. at the Presidents office. There were present Apostle [Heber J.] Grant, Elder Badger, Morris, Wells, Done, [Thomas] Hull & Apostle [Abraham Owen] Woodruff. We got along very nicely, until Bro[ther Grant wanted his brother B[righam] F. Grant to be assistant manager of the "Improvement Era," and unintentionally said, if I can get him there, the Gen[era]'l Board will find him so useful that they will want him to be one of the General Board. B[righam] F. Grant was a wicked man about a year ago and because he has repented and is a brother to Heber J Grant we have to have him crowded on us, and hear of him on all occasions. My brother Solomon has repented for sixteen years and received no recognition at all.
