A dream, then related, Night before

last I dreamed that a<​n​> <​old​> man came to me

<​and said​> there was a mob force coming upon him,

and he was likely to loose his life, that

I was Liut [Lieutenant] General and had the command

of a large force. and I was also a patriot

and disposed to protect the innocent & unoffinding. & wanted I should assist him.

I told him I wanted some written documents to show the facts that they are the

aggressors, & I would raise a force sufficent for his protection, that I would

call out the [Nauvoo] Legion,— He turned to

go from me. but turned again and aid to me. “I have any amount of

men at my command and will put

them under your command.”
