Journal Entry
November 01, 1858 ~ Monday
Nov 1st I spent the day in the office Journalizing
Brother Hatch called into the office & gave an
Account of the procedings of Dr Forney he seems vary
penurious allthough Government has put into his hands
a large amount of money to defray the Indian Expenses
far more than they have ever put into the Hands of
Govornor Young & yet Dr Forney wants the Mormon
to feed all the Indians as they have done for
ten years without any pay so that he can pocket
the money as many of the Government officers do
& the whole Nation is wicked & corrupt from the
President down throug every department of the
Government their never was a wickeder Generat[io]n
on the earth than the present one they are ripe for
the Damnation of Hell and righteously deserve
the wrath & indignation of aAlmighty God

~ Brigham Young
