5^th Dr Burnhisel spent the Afternoon with me & walked through
the city of Boston together As He had lived with President
Joseph Smith & his family for years was with him in prision
the morning He was masacreed, our conversation turned upon
the subject of his life & death. Among other remarks he inform-
ed me that Brother Joseph Addressed his remarks to him alone
when He said "I am going as A Lamb to the slaughter, yet I
shall deyie with a concience void of offence towards god and
man. I feel as calm as A summers morning (And the expr-
ession of his countenance showed that he was so) "He said it will
yet be said of me that He was murdered in cold blood." other
remarks were made concerning the Saints building up the kingdom
of God & there reward for so doing.

meet with the Saints at Northbridge, to settle A Difficulty betwen
Elder Swett the presiding Elder, & Elder Wade both of the
Seventies. it was found on trial that Elder Wade was in the
fault & Elder Sweat was justified. I should heave been justif
yed in cutting off Br Wade for He manifested the spirit
of Aposticy & opposition to the presiding Elder He said the presi-

could. I was under the necessity of reproving him sharply
