[Former apostle Amasa M. Lyman]
"Held private seance at which we received some pleasant communications from Br Joseph Smith and a deceased wife of br Edholm after which I returned to br Williams. Received the folowing from Brother Joseph through Mrs Elizabeth Crouch[:]
Brother Lyman, I am most hapy to meet you here; I have been list[e]ning to you all the evening. It does my Soul good to hear you advance the principles that I would have taught had I been permitted to stay on Earth. But it is all right; the truth will spread outward. Humanity will be lifted up from their narrowmindedness; and many Souls will be elevated through your instrumentality.
Keep on in the good work; follow out your own councel. Give my kindest love to Brothers [Elias L. T.] Harison and [William S.] Godbe and accept the same yourself. Altho I have passed away from your midst stil I retain all the good feeling I had for my felow men. I heard you speak to night about ^the^ avenging of my blood. No! I answer it a thousand times no! I almost spoke through the medium and told you so but could not quite controll her. Farewell my Brethren and Sisters have courage, from your friend and brother Joseph Smith."
