7th Last nigh was A Dredful storm many lives were lost at sea no
doubt during the night which we shall hear from It stormed
vary severe through this day I rode 8 miles through the storm to
meet with the Saints at Northbridge, to settle A Difficulty betwen
Elder Swett the presiding Elder, & Elder Wade both of the
Seventies. it was found on trial that Elder Wade was in the
fault & Elder Sweat was justified. I should heave been justif
yed in cutting off Br Wade for He manifested the spirit
of Aposticy & opposition to the presiding Elder He said the presi-
ding Elder could not cut him off, & did not think Br Woodruff
could. I was under the necessity of reproving him sharply
for his proud Haughty spirit & rebellion to the Authority of the
Church. Such things are vary disagreeable to me I have had
several difficulties to settle of late. After meeting I rode in
the rain to Br Adams took supper & spent the night 16 [miles]

October 5, 1849 ~ Friday 5th Dr Burnhisel spent the Afternoon with me & walked through the city of Boston together As He had lived with President Joseph Smith & his family for years was with him in prision the morning He was masacreed, our conversation turned upon the subject of his life & death. Among other remarks he inform- ed me that Brother Joseph Addressed his remarks to him alone when He said "I am going as A Lamb to the slaughter, yet I shall diye with a concience void of offence towards god and man. I feel as calm as A summers morning (And the expr- ession of his countenance showed that he was so) "He said it will yet be said of me that He was murdered in cold blood," other remarks were made concerning the saints building up the kingdom of God & there reward for so doing.
