I had a conversation [FIGURES] with Henry W Miller who says he was present when Joseph Smith the prophet deposited the Original Manuscript of the Book of Mormon it was deposited in the South East Cornor of the Lot when He deposited it He said sumthing like this. I deposit this Manuscript in the name of the Lord for I have had much trouble about about it since it has been in my hands But I now commit it into thy hands O God for safe keeping untill the coming of the Son of Man then this with all other Records will be brought forth by the Lord At the End of the Thousand years rest Satan will be let loose for a little season which I expect will be One thousand years. Then he will use his last power on the Earth and He will seek to destroy all the word of God out of the Earth and the Lord would have to protect it

Marshall Stokes, with the Marshall from Silver Reef, with two other Men arrived here to day with a covered waggon stoped at E Snow they have come on business of course they just drove around the Temple Block and went back up town We have had the spy Brand here for a week I am stoping in the Temple for to night watching the signes of the Times We calculate to be on the alert, and take care of ourselves if possible if they continue here long I shall probably leave for a season any letters Directed to Cyrus Thompson on the Enclosed Envellop, and outside to James G Bleak will fall into my hands We do not know what a Day will bring forth here now
