ball D. H. Wells & F. D. Richards & Samuel Richards
called and administered to me. H. C. Kimball was
mouth. He promised me that I should live. In the
afternoon President Brigham Young & Lorenzo Young
called to see me. President Young spoke about my hard
labor, doing to much, did not think I would ever
stop hard work unless I was shut up. I was vary
sick and in great distress President Young laid
hands upon me and again promised me that I
should be delivered and live, but it would be through
suffering. He recommended me to send for Dr Sprage

would die, and all outward appearances favored it

October 26, 1859 ~ Wednesday

26 This was an awful day and night to me, we had
[FIGURE] a raging wind through the night, and a raging
struggle through my tabernacle between
life and death. My desease pain & suffering had nearly
b[l]own out the lamp of life my nose, mouth, & lips
was black with malignant sores caused by my
desease and I hardly strength left sufficient to
endure my sufferings. it was one of the longest
and most bitter nights of my life not ownly the
pain and misery of my cough Lungs and side, But
all the Horrible imaginations that the Devil or disease
could invent was heaped upon my feble spirit which
was fluttering between life & death and struggleing
for the mastery to remain in the tabernacle these were
sufferings which remained during that long stormy
night, sufferings which no pen can describe or tounge
