Salt Lake City, Dec. 15, 1808.
Beloved Mother and Teacher:—For eleven years I have been hoping that I might, some time, have the blessings that are sure to come to all who are taught by you.
I thought I had valued such an opportunity highly, but the blessings I have received since November 20 at Concord are incomparably beyond what I expected, and they came upon me in a way I had scarcely thought of. The first day in the class an unusual sense of Love, peace, and good will to man came over me—a genuine Spiritual baptism.
