Diary of B. H. Roberts, 1890 - 1893
No full textOriginal is leather-bound with maroon cover, "Record" in gold-colored letters, 5 1/2 inches by 8 1/2 inches. Covers 3 November 1890 to May 1892 and 13 January to 24 June 1893. During this period Roberts spends most of his time at home rather than in the mission field. For this reason his family life is more in evidence than in his previous journals, although notations are still made only incidentally. The journal entries are daily from 3 November to 11 December 1890. Most of his time is devoted to his work on his book and writing for the semi-weekly newspaper. In his attempt to clarify his position within the L.D.S. church, he is released to attend to his own affairs while holding himself in readiness to serve if called. In February of 1893 Roberts begins to fill in his journal from memory for the two previous years. Here he records his feelings on hearing of the Woodruff Manifesto and traces the history of plural marriage within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He also makes lengthy comments on the relationships between the L.D.S. church and state politics. Roberts records the conflict with church leaders involving himself and Moses Thatcher, both Democrats, over differing political views. This portion of the journal ends abruptly on page 73. On page 101 Roberts again begins daily entries with 15 January 1893. He continues work on his religious writings, including a revision of Between 13 February and 29 March, Roberts spends time on a mission to Mexico, including New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, and California. He visits the Mormon settlements in these areas to organize "Quorums of Seventies." Between March and June he continues his church work in Salt Lake City, including duties attendant to the dedication of the completed Salt Lake Temple. This journal ends on 24 June 189

Diary of B. H. Roberts, 1884 - 1885
No full textThis diary covers the period October 1884 to March 1885. Original is black, leather-bound, tooled "Record" in silver and gold colors, 3 1/2 inches by 5 inches. Roberts covers the period from 4 October to 27 November in the first portion of the journal. He opens with a report on the semi-annual L.D.S. church conference in Salt Lake City, but by the fifteenth of October he has left to take charge of the Southern States Mission. Because of the "Cane Creek Massacre" in which four people were killed, including two L.D.S. missionaries, and the growing animosity toward members of the Mormon church, many of the converts emigrated from the South to Colorado. Roberts details his role in helping these Mormon converts reach Colorado. The journal stops when he arrives back in Salt Lake City in November (page 71). Roberts resumes writing on 26 January 1885 (page 95). During January, February, and March, Roberts describes his travels through the state speaking at meetings and canvassing for subscriptions to the Mutual Improvement Association\u27s publication the This portion of the journal also includes a song he wrote about plural marriage and other poetry. The journal ends abruptly May
Diary of B. H. Roberts, 1886 - 1887
No full textDiary covers December 1886; April 1887; and August 1887. Original is leather-bound with black cover, 4 inches by 6 3/4 inches. Covers period from 5 December 1886 intermittently to 8 August 1887, with some undated entries. Roberts begins this journal with a description of his arrest on 5 December for "\u27unlawful cohabitation\u27 with Sarah L. Roberts & Celia Dibble." However, his explanation ends in mid-sentence. There are a number of blank pages, then a few brief comments on Roberts\u27s first visit to London in 1887. Skipping a few more pages, he begins a description of travels around England between 2 and 5 April. On the fifth he visited the former home of the poet Lord Byron, and writes a description complete with quotes from the poet. These entries are badly water stained but still legible. Roberts leaves more blank pages and begins with an entry dated "Aug. 30th 1887," which is probably July, as the following entries date from the first to the eighth of August. This portion of the journal describes Roberts\u27s trip across Scotland. The journal entries end on 8 August 1887 with his return to Liverpool. Tucked into the entry for 3 August are four pages from a small notebook labeled "The Scripture Testimony to the Christ: Especially the Testimony of St. John." Following the journal entries are pages of personal accounts, inscriptions from grave stones, remarks about the roles of women and men, notes on books, and poetry. On the last page of the volume under a pasted-in poem is the note: "Married Lena 23 Jan. 1884 Wednesday Ets. She is 23/3d Aug \u2787." His "temple records" show his marriage to Celia Dibble, whom he called Lena, on 4 October 1884. Celia\u27s birthday is recorded as 3 August 186
