A prayer meeting is held in the assembly room over Joseph's store. Orson Hyde, Parley P. Pratt, Wilford Woodruff, George A. Smith, and Orson Spencer receive their endowments, with 35 people present. About this time some women receive their endowments also. Bathsheba W. Smith, wife of George A. Smith, receives her anointings in a room in Emma's house. Emma is the first female ordinance worker, and Elizabeth Ann Whitney is the second.
