3rd [FIGURE] The Calafornia Mail arived and brought the presidents
message which was read in Presidents Young office President
Buchanan recommends a strong force against the saints and
that 4 new r~~idg~~egiments of men be raised against us I spent
the evening in the presidents office reading the news of the
day the United States are determined to anhilate the mormons
the war is now [FIGURE] beetween God and the Devil and between
saints & sinners time must determin the contest But
I am sure that God & his friends the saints will prevail
against the Devil and his hosts what trials and sacrafizes

but I pray the Lord to give us grace equal to our day
