[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 12th I rode to Boston. Attended a Church meeting and had the power of God rested upon me. I spoke to the Church in great Plainness concerning iniquity in all its forms. Urged the importance of building the Temple. I informed the Saints that evry man in the Church from the head to the foot if they broke the commandments & law of God would be brought to Justice & I advised all to be cautious not to throw themselves to ruin because others do wrong. I was followed by Elder Adams.
I had Conversation with Br Whitmore. He related A dream to me as follows: He had prayed to God to let him see Joseph in a dream. And he fell asleep And dreamed that he saw the heavens opened and deheld some of the things of eternity. He saw a personage arise out of the earth, and An Elder informed him that it was Joseph Smith. Joseph did not speak to him but droped some slips of paper on the ground from whence he rose. Br Whirmore picked up one of them & read the following words: (Emma is not worthy of me.) He wished to read the others but the person with him picked them up & put them in his pocket & did not let him read them.
