[Nauvoo Temple] The Twelve, the Temple Committee and the Trustees met. Agent Almon Babbitt, who had traveled to St. Louis, Cincinnati and Chicago in seeking buyers for the Temple, reported on his trip, bringing letters from the Catholic Church. Brigham Young read letters from interested Catholic bishops. Babbitt reported that the bishop of Chicago was sending agents to meet with the Twelve.
The Times and Seasons reported, "...the suite of rooms in the attic story for the accommodation of the Priesthood, in the ordinances of washings, anointings and prayer, are nearly ready for use; so that the faithful saints begin to rejoice in the Holy one of Israel."
