Lord God that the commenceme[n]t of

bloodshed as preparat[o]ry to the coming

of the son of man. will commenc[e]

in South Carolina.— (it probably

may arise through the slave trade.)—

this the a voice declard to me. while I

was praying earne[s]tly on the subje[c]t 25

December 1832 I earnestly desird to know concern[in]g

the coming of the Son of Man & prayed.

when— a voice said to me, Joseph, my,

son, if thou livest until thou art

85 years old thou shalt see the facce

of the son of man. therefore let this

suffice & trouble me no more on

this matter.—
