November 24, 1860 ~ Saturday

24 I was quite unwell this morning with a Diarrhoea. I spent most of the day
in the Endowment House. The Mountaineer to day contains the news
By Poney Express concerning the withdrawal of the Southern States from
the union it commenced in South Carolina in fulfillment of the prophecy [Doctrine and Covenants 87]
of Joseph Smith the Prophet or the revelation of the Lord through
him which has been published in the pearl of Great Price & written
in various Books for many years it really looks as though the United
States were ripe for the Harvest
