[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 7th Wilford Appears quite comfortable to day. His sickness seems to have turned And A prospect of his soon recovering for which I feel thankful to my heavenly Father.
I recieved A visit from Mr Wm B. Shedd No 3 Franklin street Charlestown Mass. He was A Brother to the Brother Shedd who was poisoned At the city of the great salt Lake by Eating wild Parsnip. He died in few moments After Eating it. Mr Shedd wished to send out seeds to Adorn the field with shrubery & fruit that his brother occupied And He recommended that trees be planted in A row through the centre of the street. We have good slaying through the streets to day.
