Journal Entry

November 20, 1858 ~ Saturday

20th I spent the day separating scraps it snowed mostly
through the day I called upon President Young in the
evening at 9 oclok. I conversed with him upon
the Deseret Alphebet all our former manuscript was
lost and he wished me to Join Elder G. D. Watt in making
out another at 4 cl 5 oclok P Dodson came to serve


A writ upon Brigham Young sen Brigham Young jr Joseph
A Young, Hiram Clawson, & James Ferguson at hal

President Young sent word for him to leave a copy &
He would acknowledge the serving of the writ at half past
5. One Gilbert came again to serve the same writs & was
Determined to go in but they did not let him but acknowledged
the writ The Gentiles are trying to make a Fuss
with the Saints in this place But God will controll the matter

Young had taken the property of Mr Burr which he left
