all they trade with them in this way for their is more mort-
gages and attachments upon their property in Nauvoo than the value
of them. I do not know but their object in comeing here is to take
boat to the Eastene State or Canidas to practice the same fraud
would it not be well to cauth^i^on all the Churches through the
Neighbor & times & Season to beware of having any deal with them
or the Fosters or Higbys. I should think any Saint ought to know
better than to deal with them. I should not think strange if the
Laws were calculating to go to Canida to live. I think of
cautioning the Saints in the East against dealing with those
men, by a note in the prophet upon the subject, unless I am
councilled otherwise for they are going about seeking whome
they may devour. I had but a few moments to write
before the brethen started but I thought I would write
a few lines. We cannot get a boat for Buffalo untill
monday Morning it is now Saturday Morning unless we take
a propeller to Oswego, this evening. My Respects to the quorum
and all who inquire. Please direct to ^your^ letter to W Woodruff
New York & also ask Elder Taylor to send to me the Last
form of the Doctrines & Covenants as it was not out the last
when I left, also send the last Neighbors & Times & season to New
York

D^r Brother, I had quite forgotten to let you know that I owe and
want you to pay M^rs Parker North American Hotel, New Orleans
twenty Doll^s for board, she's a widow, & I have been very unwilling to leave
without having that settled, for honesty is the best policy after all. Brother Williams
has an order to collect some debts due me on the way home which he will [pay]
you for that purpose perhaps the whole Amt. if not do send it to her. and
in regard to that note of Joseph's in the hands of Phelps if you can use it to better
advantage against the estate for full amt. you in may do so if he will give it up
this shall be his receipt for the same.

yrs respectfully D Jones.
