3rd An arrow The Calafornia Mail arived and brought the presid[en]ts
message which was read in Presidents Young office President
Buchanan recommends a strong force against the Saints and
that 4 new ridgegiments of men be raised against us I spent

day the United States are determined to anhilate the mormons
the war is now An arrow 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
