request of the indians in centralamerica upon learning this father brightened up andhis pulsation improved and although very weak he began to talk as he formerly had done previous to his sickness and I 1 think that he spoke about two hours so that youmay see by this that the mere mention of the book of mormon seemed to put new life into him his son writes we had a good attendance and a large turn out for a small town like clarkston every respect that could be paid to him was manifested by the people we put the boos BOOK of mormon in his right hand and the book lbook of covenants inhi his left
