89^th I spent most of the day in in the office I called in the President Youngs
office all the Presidency were there & others, while there report
came in that Ben Simons had been buying several head of Horses
to take to the Armey it was also reported that He had loaded
8 Horses which he had bought of the Brethren & started for
the Enemies camp this looks vary strange to see Brethren
sell their Best Animals to go to the Enemy when they were
trying to destroy us this is certainly amoung the misteries
I spent the evening in the office looking over my corressponding
Letters with the Presidency Twelve & my Fathers Family
esspecially the Letters of Asahel H Woodruff
