[President Heber J. Grant Diary] Brother Franklin S. Richards called at Brother David P. Howells' home this morning at my request, and we examined a private record covering a period of a number of years, of an organization that at one time had between forty and fifty members, when I was the junior apostle. Today Brother Franklin and I are the only surviving members. We got about two-thirds of the way through the record, and I arranged to meet him again next Sunday and finish it. (2)
