[Patriarchal Blessings] Eliza R. Snow. (Given by Isaac Morley.)

Thy influence shall be great--thy examples shall not be excel'd. ... be capable with thy pen to communicate, to thy fellow man the blessings & glories of futurity: and thy blessing shall roll and continue to thee until time is lost in eternity: and thy name shall be handed down to posterity from generation to generation: and many songs shall be heard that were dictated by thy pen and from the principles of thy mind, even until the choirs from on high and the earth below, shall join in one universal song of praise to God and the Lamb.
