Autobiography Volume 2 circa 1865
Porter Rockwell arrived in camp on
and brought the mail from Nauvoo. I received one paper and
learned that the mob spirit was still alive in Hancock Co.
and that they were mobing whipping and killing each other ^the Saints^.
The Saints ^who^ were leaving as fast as they could and the new
citizens had taken the matter in hand and the war was now
between them and the mob. Porter Rockwell was kept in
jail as long as they could keep him and when brought to court
no one appeared against him.
During our sujorn [sojourn] in the wilderness
Mrs Woodruff had been tried severely in her health and it required
great care to preserve her in life.
