My people were then strong in the faith, as you know.

One morning after you had left for the East, Brigham Young and Heber Kimball came to our house for me.

They said the Prophet had long known me by sight, and wished to talk with me.

Would I go with them to visit him and he would bless and counsel me?
Of course I was flattered.

I put on my prettiest frock and fetchingest bonnet and set off with them, after mamma had said yes.
