16^th I arose quite unwell this morning with my cold I spent
the forenoon in doctoring my Horse for an old founder
I phfysiced him with Human dung then gave him alchahal in
Cayenne to sweat him I also set his feet in hot water
as Hot as He could bear it I covered him with Blankets
and tryed to steem him with Hot Rocks but did not
get him to sweat much

I I attended the mass meeting in the tabernacle about 3000
[FIGURE] men were present and they passed strong resolutions
and memorials to the President of the United States
and to the Senate and House of representatives of the Congress
of the United States all of which were received with a unan-
amous voice and ordered to be printed in the Deseret News
committies were appointed speeches made &c
