At a quarter past 6 o clock President Young left the Temple for the purpose of going a short distance to marry a couple.
The Weather this day has been very cold, it being very difficult to keep comfortably warm in the Temple the wind blowing very strong from the North . . .
At 6 o clock a report came to President Young that Theodore Turley had arrived in town, being liberated on bail of 250 dollars for his appearance at court next term, provided a bill of indictment should be found, report brought by Henry W. Miller . . .
The exercises of the day being over, President Young retired to bed about 12 o clock.
In consequence of the great pressure of business during the week past it has been decided to devote Saturday to the purpose of washing the robes and other garments, which had been used in the business of initiating those who had come in through the vail, but there being a general de
sire in the minds of all those who had officiated in the ordinances particularly the Sisters, that the work should not cease, it was afterwards determined that the clothes should be washed this night, and it was accordingly done, by the labors of several sisters, taking up the greater part of the night.
