Every effort was made to keep the text as close to Woodruff's as possible. The only changes were punctuation used at times to clarify. It's a great set!

You could also tell them that Brigham was probably rebaptized (besides for his health) a good 15 or 20 times in his life. Hee hee.

Incidently, I was talking with our missionaries about someone getting baptized a second time because of lost records. The missionaries thought this was a really big deal. I shrugged and said something like - in the early days of the church people would sometimes get rebaptized for their health (which I got from you), and they looked at me like I had bugs crawling out of my ears. I should have said I got it from Stapley. Sounds interesting J. Incidently, I was talking with our missionaries about someone getting baptized a second time because of lost records.

My co-author Kris and I have submitted a history of Baptism for Health to <em>JMH,</em> which I am hopeful will be published this year. We are also on the final edits of a history of the ritual healing among the Latter-day Saints to the settlement of the Great Basin. These are part of a broader history, of course that we hope to eventually publish. Eric, I am currently working on a study of Mormon healing.

While I rely on Smith's edition, and have appreciated it, I admit that I feel bad that it is based on Ehat's purloined notes and understand that it has less than 50% of the entire diary. I have found at least one entry published by Helen Whitney in UT that was not included in Smith's edition and which was quite important for my research. grin.

I'm just recycling things that I heard from Ron E. back in 2005. He mentioned to me on a couple of occasions that he would like to do another edition of the WW diaries and that since W. Clayton is for the most part out there he'd like to see a real edition of it get printed. But those were just musings, so I don't want to give the impression that they're imminent or even likely at this point. The GQC diaries, on the other hand, are. Hehe.

I had heard that they will be doing the George Cannon diaries, which will be amazing. I hadn't thought about a Woodruff volume, which actually is needed. If it weren't for the <em>New Mormon Studies</em> CD-ROM, it would likely be about as accessible as if it weren't published (unless you happen to be at the BYU Library). Can't figure out WC though. Do you have insider info that they are considering these? You’re very welcome!

I concur in your hope that the Church Historian's Press will pump out important documentary editions in the future, such as a new edition of the WW diaries and WC's diary. J, thanks for the review.
