President Wilford Woodruff Salt Lake City
Dear Brother: I have felt impresst for some-
time passt to address a few lines to you; and
tell you of a dream I had in the month of June
last. It was as follows you and myself was stand-
ing on the east side of a squirrel mound about 3/4
of a mile from where I live in a north west direction
out side of this towne and you was looking as I thought
for something to eat as I was looking to the north down
this valley and I saw no buildings and nothing but
a dry Barron plain and all at once you raised up and
passt by me to the south and spoke to me and said
I am going to move: and I awoke and found it a dream.
Now by the signs of the times it looks to me that it is
drawing near the time for some: great event to
transpire and if such a thing should happen and
I was worthy I would be pleased to accumpany you
for I beleeve you are the man that has been chosen
to lead the saints back to the center stake. this was
