[Nauvoo Temple] Last sealings of living spouses were administered. There were 2,420 couples sealed.
The Twelve met in the attic and Brigham Young dedicated the temple thus far completed, leaving the building in the hands of the Lord. A fuller account reads: "The Twelve met in the southeast corner, room No. 1, the upper story in the temple, kneeling round the altar and dedicating the building to the most high and asked His blessings upon our iintended move to the west, also asking Him to enable them someday to finish the lower part of the building and dedicated it to Him and to preserve the temple as a monument to Joseph Smith, the Twelve, then left."
