Red Brick Store, Nauvoo

William Clayton, Clerk and Scribe for Joseph Smith 

After receiving his endowment in the Red Brick Store, William Clayton recorded: "This is one of the greatest favors ever conferred on me and for which I feel grateful. May the God of Joseph preserve me and mine house to walk in the paths of righteousness all the days of my life and oh that I may never sin against him or displease him. For thou oh God knowest my desire to do right that I may have eternal life."

Quoted in James B. Allen, Trials of Discipleship (1987), 128.
