^Orson Pratts Resteration^

19th This was also an interesting day in
consequence of the return of Orson Pratt

& repented in dust & ashes as it were for opposing
Joseph & the Twelve &c. we met at Brigham
Youngs the first Presidency & the Twelve
& conversed over the subject & Orson Pratt
desired much to return to the quorum of the
Twelve. We had an interesting time together
we then assembled at the river & Joseph
the Seer went into the river from the
Ice & Baptized Orson Pratt & his wife &
Widow Granger Joseph confirmed them
& ordaind Orson Pratt to the Apostleship &
& his former standing which caused Joy to
our hearts. Elder Amasa Lyman who had
been appointed in his stead as a member of
the quorum of the Twelve was taken into the
