When in the Presidents office on the 23rd President Young asked
G. A. Smith if it was not Hard to Acknowledge the hand of God
in the death of Parley P Pratt by as wicked a man as Mc
Lain yet we will have to do it. T B Marsh pleads for
Mercy & askes if it is not to late for him to fill his mission
B Young says yes it is but I am willing to forgive him & that
he may be baptized & confirmed then let him come here
we read a letter from O Pratt. B Y says if we live our
religion we shall have all the world upon I will tell you the time
has come when the Elders have got to take care of themselves
for the people will publish a lie & they will shoot them if they
are not careful. The People must know there is a God in
Heaven & circumstances will bring this thing to bear. I am
Feble but I hope I shall yet live to preach in Jackson Co
St Louis Cincinnati New York & through the Eastern states
I had a dream I thought I saw my family picking all kinds
of Fruit & flours [flowers] I thought I went East to preach & I saw
the people in the valley had doug down the mountain or cut
it down square & brought the soil out of the mountains &
made some good gardens I went on East & I herd a
Methodist Priest Pray for sinners & Men followed me
& asked me if I wanted some brass I told him no they
wanted me to steal sumthing I told them I would not
do it it was mules to make coin in they wanted me to
steal. I saw stolen goods in great piles & stacks that the
people in the Eastern country had stolen. some tried to
raise a mob upon me but I did not fear them soon I
saw some brethren I saw one Apostate he wanted to kill me
but I told him that if He did not behave himself I would send
him to Hell. I again saw the brethren cut dow[n] the mountains &
make good farms I thought these were good times the above
was presidents Youngs dream" He then said if the Lord our God
does not visit the United States then I am no prophet & we shall
find that all good men will come to the mountains for safety

Joseph & Joseph slaped him in the face & kicked him out of the
