It is snowing most of the day I called upon President G. A. Smith

President Young & spent Near an hour with him I Bid him a happy
New Year after conversing a short time with him I took John Henry
Smith & went to the City Hall & visited Hosea Stout, Brother Blythe, B Y
Hampton & Wm Kimball who were in Prision under indiptment for
Murder By the U. S. Judges Not Because they were guilty of any such
crime But to open the Bell of persecution against the Latter Day Saints
from visiting them I called upon Elder John Taylor whom I found
quite unwell. He spoke of visiting President Young

Young, D. H. Wells & quite a Number of others to commence a series of
persecutions against the Church & we are bordering upon an important
era & we have to look to the Lord for our Deliverance he has fought
our Battles thus far & He will continue to do it. Evry year now

from off the Earth. But I say in the Name of Jesus Christ as
An Apostle of the Lord Jesus in this last dispensation & fulness
of times, that the wrath & indignation of the Lord of Hosts shall
rest upon President Grant, & all associated with him against
Zion as it did against Phariaoh in the days of Moses
