Frederick G. Williams’s blessing in JS’s journal begins with the following: “Brother Frederick is one of those men in whom I place the greatest confidence and trust for I have found him ever full of love and Brotherly kindness he is not a man of many words but is ever wining because of his constant mind he shall ever have place in my heart and is ever intitled to my confidence He is perfectly honest and upright, and seeks with all his heart to magnify his presidency in the church of ch[r]ist, but fails in many instances, in consequence of a want of confidence in himself: God grant that he may overcome all evil.” (JS, Journal, 14–19 Nov. 1833.)
