Journal Entry

December 13, 1871 ~ Wednesday

13. A single key with teeth to the right I spent the day at the farm & came home at night & spent the evening
at the Presidents office with the Twelve & Fitch, Hemstead, Snow, Miner,
& many others & expressed our views concerning the return of President

Brigham Youngs coming home to stand his trial before the unjust Judges
now holding court in Salt Lake City out of 15 Men all thought it wisdom &
good policy for him to come to the city & stand his trial (although He could not have
a fair impartial trial) except 4 of us were of the oposite opinion viz J. Taylor
W Woodruff A Carrington & Wm C. Stanes, yet all agreed to leave it with him
to decide as the Spirit might dictate. I received a letter from Sarah
