At 2 o'clock I was at the meeting of my quorum in the upper room of the Historian's Office, where, after waiting about three-quarters of an hour, we got seven of the brethren together. They were, Pres. L. Snow, F. D. Richards, Moses Thatcher, F. M. Lyman, H. J. Grant, John W. Taylor and myself.
. . . John W. Taylor spoke in relation to the Manifesto: "I do not know that that thing was right, though I voted to sustain it, and will assist to maintain it; but among my father's papers I found a revelation given him of the Lord, and which is now in my possession, in which the Lord told him that the principle of plural marriage would never be overcome. Pres. Taylor desired to have it suspended, but the Lord would not permit it to be done.----At the close of John W's. remarks our meeting adjourned till tomorrow at 10 o'clock. I closed with prayer.
