2nd It is an important erea in the history
of the Church about these days. Joseph Smith
the Prophet & Seer of the Church has been
persecuted & driven into the willderness from
his family & Church in Nauvoo in consequen
ce of illegal oaths, affidavits & edicts, from men in
authority govornors &c, But having a new
govornor Joseph Smith came forth & deliverd
himself up to the authorities & demanded a
trial, & it has been granted him within a few
days past before the circuit court of the
United States & has been honorably acquited
according to the law of the Land, & is now
returning to Nauvoo ^to^ have a jubilee. Elder
John Taylor has gone to Springfield with
Joseph & about 20 other Brethren which leaves
the Printing Office in my care which makes
much business for me more than I can con-
veniently attend to.
