At Temple Recording, spoke to Bp Granger in relation to using the 2nd
Ward School House for dancing parties, he was quite offended at my speaking to
him on the subject and complained to Prest McAllister of the matter. I saw Prest McA. in relation to the subject,
referring him to the Meeting held in the Tithing Office on the subject, also to
the remarks made by Prest E. Snow on the subject. he said Prest Snows remarks he thought unkind
and decided that the Bps should have charge of the School houses and if they
wished to use them for Ward Sabbath School or M. I. Ass parties they had (p.
49) a right to. I told him I did not
under stand my position when one authority of the Church advised one thing and
another steps in and decides to the contrary.

Father as follows, written in England
just previous to our starting for America, when bidding him goodbye for the
last time (p. 64) March, 1855
My Dear Children
These
few words your Father addresses to you, although insignificant now m[a]y
perhaps at some future time be servicable to you. I am about being seperated from my Children
perhaps for ever. You are leaving a
father, who which circumstances have divided from you has endeavored to
contribute to your support so far as he could, and when sorrow urges him to
address some parting words to you, hoping that when seas divide us they may
cause you some consolation in your distress or affliction in sorrow or trouble
remember that although deprived of my advice and assistance you have a father
whom no seas can seperate, one always present always ready to hear and to help.
Imperfect as I am my advice may be inconsistent with my
actions, but nevertheless follow it as if it came from a better man. Make the New Testament your guide study the
Character and laws of Jesus Christ pray to him to guide you and help you he
will hear and grant his protection to his children in every affliction, God the
universal Father who is every where present who now knows my desire to urge you
to a full reliance upon his love as a source of strength and comfort to you
when your earthly father, however loud your cry, cannot hear and help St.
George, 1880, August & September A.
R. Whitehead, p. 78 (84)
you. Remember my
dear Children you are going to a Country where labor must be your resource for
a livelihood. What your hands find to
do, do it with all your heart. Do not
forget your duty to your Mother. Assist
her by your strength, and (p. 65) should sickness or poverty overtake her
comfort and support her.
Be
honest, let not shame depress you at meeting a Man you have wronged stand erect
on the conviction of having acted right to your neighbor.
Be Sober, Oh my boys, if you knew which God grant the
degredation the present helpless idiocy of a Man steeped in drink the
unalterable agony of mind, the incessant gnawing of the worm, that never dies
in a drunkards heart, you would avoid it whilst in your power, the fatal,
facinating, fiendish cup.
I have little more to say. I hope I need not invite you to love and help
each other. Brothers love and Cherish
Sister Clara attend upon and bless help my thoughts my love will be with think
sometimes of me and at every convenient opportunity write to me as I will to
you should I be spared, should any change for the better occur in my fortune
you all shall partake of it you are my
children.
