- Transcription
I spoke of the Masonic Organization in Nauvoo & some of the circumstances which led up to the Prophet Joseph asking of the Lord & obtaining promise to restore that which was lost indeed to Restore all things which enraged the high officials of the Mystic Order so that the National Grand conclave expelled or cut off all the Mormon Masonic Order from their fellowship.
The brethren appreciated my explanation highly and I felt reli[e]ved in my Spirit for having accomplished it as it had pressed upon my mind for some time past.
