Wilford serves eighth term as member of Territorial Legislature.
6th I spent most of the day in the ooffice
I called upon president Young and found a company
in his office reading the scraps sent from the states
against Mormonism. There appears to be a fixed determi-
nation by the General Government to annihilate the saints of
God from off the Earth & to destroy the last vestage of
righ[t]eousness from among men. O Hyde received a letter
from Lucky Bill at Carson valley stating that there was
a company fitting out at Carson valley and at placer
ville to come into our settlements for the purpose of robing
and plundering. O Hyde wrote him a letter stating
that He advised our friends if we had any not to ingage
in a contest against our people for God would smite
them with Blindness and our Enemies would be given
into our hands.
