[Heber J. Grant Diary] What is written in this Journal from page 1 to 33 inclusive I copied from a memorandum book. In some cases I have enlarged on what I had written in my mem. book & in others I have left out somethings not worth writing--In reality I can hardly see any use of my keeping a Journal. (2)

    1856 - "make the turns ... upon the Tithing Office ..." means what?

    Good question. I'm not sure. The context may suggest managing the tithing office, or making changes in how it was managed.

    I was not able to find any other instances of "make the turns."
