(^54) “Before the jailor came in, his boy brought in some water, and said the guard wanted some
wine. Joseph gave Dr. Richards two dollars to give the guard; but the guard said one was enough,
and would take no more. The guard immediately sent for a bottle of wine, pipes, and two small
papers of tobacco; and one of the guards brought them into the jail soon after the jailor went out. Dr.
Richards uncorked the bottle, and presented a glass to Joseph, who tasted, as also Brother Taylor and
the doctor, and the bottle was then given to the guard, who turned to go out.” (DHC, 6:616.)
“Sometime after dinner we sent for some wine. It has been reported by some that this was
taken as a sacrament. It was no such thing; our spirits were generally dull and heavy, and it was sent
for to revive us. ...I believe we all drank of the wine, and gave some to one or two of the prison
guards.” (John Taylor, DHC, 7:101.)
