prophet
patriarch
We obtained information this morning from quincy
als late as June 29th The Govonor had made Quincy
his head Quarters for he could neither trust the
people or Melitia in that region of country had
made a proclamation to the citizens of the
state, would protect either party against
an attact. The mormons had done all that could
be required of them, still their appears to be
a disposition of the people & troops to try to destroy
Nauvoo. The Govonor acknowledges the death
of the Prophet and Patriarch to be a wanton murder
We do not obtain one word from any of our
friends so that we can obtain any thing correct upon
the subject. I hope we may get somthing soon
I expect the mails are stoped. Mob spirit is rising through-
out the country Philadelphia is full of it. War
is again Proclaimed against Texas by Mexico
& the world is sheding the blood of Prophets,
Patriarch and Saints in order to fill up their cup
