many miles, he had now made ship reck of faith was cut of[f] from the Church & he with some others in like circum
stances are now making every exertion against us & the cause, & the letter alluded to was teeming with falshood against Joseph &
the Church. O Warren Parrish how art thou fallen thy former letters will stare thee in the face make thee blush & pierce thy soul. The
letter is believed by our opposers & causes persecution to rage. I had a prayer meeting at Br Ames 4 miles
