On the and of the month in Liverpool I sat with the board of Directors of the British and American Joint Stock Company until near midnight of the second day. It was a hard day's work and a critical one. Each article of the deed for settlement preparing for regestration was read over several times changed and altered as the Board of Directors thought fit. It had been with much labour care and expence to get the Joint Stock Company settled so as to begin to do business and during the day I had many trying things to encounter. My spirit was greived and insulted as it had been many times since I came to Liverpool from a source that I ought to have expected better things. We got the Nauvoo Times and Neighbor and New York Messenger informing us of the commencing of mobing once more in Hancock County. The mob had burned 42 houses of the Saints in Lima; and a day or two later the Liverpool papers teemed with rumours that mobs were raging against the Saints in Hancock Co. had burned several hundred of their houses and that a proposition had been made by the Twelve to the citizens of Hancock County for the Mormons to leave ^that they would leave the state as soon as they could dispose of their property^
