Wilford joins 50th anniversary celebration of first pioneer company arriving in Salt Lake.
July 22nd I slept some this morning and attended a part of the services
of the Jubilee on childrens day at the Tabernacle at 1230 after being seated
on a chair provided for me I had a laurel wreath placed upon my head
by a beautiful little girl. (Miss Ida Taylor Whittaker) I kissed her saying
"God bless you." This was done in the presence of some 12,000 children seated in
the Tabernacle a beautiful sight. After which I went to the office where Mr Johnson
came and took my photograph and some groups of the brethren with me,
drove home very tired. Bro Nuttall staid with me tonight.
