[Wilford Woodruff Journal] It was with peculiar sensations that mine eyes did roam over farmington meadows, the river, the canal, the hills & dales during this walk to my fathers house & when I arived there my meditations were turned into greater Joy by being permitted to take my Father, Mother, & Sister Eunice once more by the hand in friendship & behold each other face to face & what added to this interesting interview was Brother Ozem Woodruff was among the number. I baptized him the year before & after spending a season in conversing together we all sat down around our fathers table & suped together of the bounties of earth & I felt much refreshed & after bowing our knees together around the family alter of a fathers house to worship the God of Israel, I took an evenings walk with Sister Eunice & found her mind searching for light & truth. I spent the night at fathers house.
