Dear Brother Kimball: According to thy desire I place my hands upon thy head, and as the Spirit of the Lord shall direct me, give unto thee a blessing for thy comfort and benefit throughout this life according to thy faithfulness. Thou art of the lineage of Ephraim born of goodly parents, and thy name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life for good.

Any thy life is precious in the sight of the Lord; His tender watchcare has been over thee all thy days; He has seen thy faith and thy devotion; He has also seen thy trials and thy weaknessess, and He has accepted thy devotion and thy willingness to honor and to serve Him. He has also accepted thy labors in His service, and will bless and sanctify them for thy good and blessing. Therefore, I say unto thee, be comforted and continue to rejoice in the blessings of the Lord. Continue to follow the whisperings of that Still Small Voice, which is the voice of the Holy Spirit, which it is thy right to enjoy for thy comfort and blessing, for thy guide, both temporally and spiritually. And as long as thou wilt acknowledge the hand of God in thy blessings and strive to live worthy of them, thou shalt be prospered in thy righteous undertakings and shall be given means and opportunities to gather around thee both the necessities and the comforts of this life.

It will also be thy privilege to share of thy substance with many who are less fortunate than thyself; and for all of thy acts of kindness, thy words and deeds of comfort and good cheer God will bless and qualify thee for thy labors and multiply thy possessions and increase thy powers to do good. Therefore, continue to acknowledge the hand of the Lord in thy blessings, and be not discouraged when thy burdens seem heavy for thee to bear, or thy trials seem greater than thou art able to withstand, but continue to keep thy trust in the Lord; honor the Holy Priesthood, for it is a power in thy hands against the designs of the adversary. And because of thy faith thou shalt be comforted and sustained by the answers to thy prayers. Health and plenty will abound in thy home, and thy name shall live after thee in honorable remembrance from generation to generation. Therefore, go forth in the discharge of duty, keeping thy trust in the Lord, and be not discouraged, but be of good cheer, and rejoice over thy blessings and thy privileges.

Take advantage of thy opportunities to labor in behalf of thy kindred, both the living and the dead. Thy teachings and thy testimonies and thy labors will cause thy heart to rejoice. For, many will look to thee with a desire to observe thy counsel and thy teachings. Thou shalt also take advantage of thy opportunities to further the work of thy father in the earth in behalf of thy kindred dead, for much depends upon thee concerning these labors. And in answer to thy prayers, and through thy diligence in study and research thou shalt be the means in assisting both temporally and spiritually, and shall secure thy blessings concerning these labors and thy heart shall be made to rejoice both in this life and in the life to come. Therefore, seek to know thy duties; continue to be humble before the Lord, and thou shalt be comforted with an answer to thy prayers and made equal to every responsibility, for means will be placed at thy command to meet every obligation in righteousness, and thou shalt be permitted to life and finish thy mission upon the earth and enjoy the fruits of thy labors.

I seal this blessing upon thy head through thy faithfulness. And seal thee up unto eternal life to come forth in the resurrection of the just with thy kindred and loved ones, by virtue of the Holy Priesthood and in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Beloved Bro. Quince. Agreeable to the desires of thy heart and in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I have placed my hands upon thy head and seal upon thee a Patriarchal and a father's blessing.

Behold I say unto thee fear not, for the Lord has heard thy petitions and has preserved thy life that thou mightest do a great and good work in thy day and generation. And to perpetuate the name of thy kindred, thy name shall go down with honor unto the latest generation and shall stand in thy lot and place in thy father's and mother's house. Behold they have made many sacrifices, and great promises have been made unto, that of their increase there should be no end.

It is thy calling to labor as a savior unto many of thy kindred that have passed away. Holy Angels will yet administer in thy behalf. They have watched over thee in thine infantile moments and thy guardian angel will never forsake thee.

Listen strictly to the still small voice and it shall be as a lamp unto thy feet and thou shalt have influence and power to do much good. Fear not. Reprove the wayward, and let the solemnities of this great and glorious work predominate in thy heart.

These words are given thee to be a comfort unto thee with a promise through thy obedience that thou shalt attain unto a celestial crown. And let this day be unto thee never to be forgotten. Thou shalt have power to rebuke the enemy and thou shalt not be tempted beyond that which you can bear.

Beloved Brother call upon the Lord in search every day of thy life, and thy children, and children's children shall rise up and call thee blessed, for thou art entitled to a fullness of the Holy Priesthood, the fullness thereof shall be conferred upon thee in due time.

Thou art through the loins of Ephraim and I seal upon thy head the blessings of Abraham Isaac and Jacob.

Thou shalt be remembered and blessed with every comfort and blessing which shall be for the honor and glory of God. The poor and needy shall honor thy name.

I seal upon thee the spirit of prophecy and revelation and say unto thee be of good cheer for thy life shall be prolonged, and shall become mighty as a counselor in Israel. Behold, there is a mansion prepared for thee in the Eternal World for thy faithfulness, and thine associations there shall be with the Prophet Joseph Smith and his Brethren who have been instruments in carrying forth the Gospel unto the inhabitants of the Earth, and shall be prepared through humility to do a great work.

I seal all these blessings upon thy head with all thy former blessings and with every blessing thy heart can desire in righteousness, by the authority of the Holy Priesthood and in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
