Brigham Young and other apostles meet in Nauvoo Temple for the last time: "We knelt around the altar and dedicated the building to the Most High. We asked his blessing upon our intended move to the west; also asked him to enable us one day to finish the Temple, and dedicated it to him and we would leave it in his hands to do as he pleased; and to preserve the building as a monument to Joseph Smith." Later that day Young "addressed the saints in the grove and informed them that the company going to the west would start this week across the river."
