I spent the evening at President Youngs office He said I am sorry for the Armey & have thought of sending word for the Brethren in Great Salt Lake City for the brethren to sell vegitables to them I have also had it in my heart when peace is esstablished to take all the Cattle Horses and Mules which we have taken from the army and return them to the officers. In speaking of the moving of the people out of G. S. L. City is there evil in the City and I the Lord have not done it. Is our movement an evil no it is for our good.

Letter to George Quayle Cannon, 25 June 1858
G. S. L. City ^Provo^ Brother Cannon I forward to you my history, I wish my chap. of accidents to be put in one paper, which will form the concluding chap. of my history; bro. Geo. A. & I have thought it would be best not to divide that chap.; I wish my History to be put in as few papers as you can conveniently. Please strike me off six extra copies of the papers, and send them to me weekly at Provo. Although there are many alterations I presume the copy is intelligible. I did not think it best to have it re-copied, but will trust to your a little ^care & attention^ in punctuation &c. Your papers containing our history have been very correctly printed. My love to your colleagues. W. Woodruff
