of their time in that body, or great injury might be
done by hasty and ill-considered legislation.

I have had a quorum of the Twelve
within reach now for some little time past. I think
it important that when needed we can have a quorum
of our Council, so that the responsibility may be borne
by the Quorum. Questions are constantly arising of
an important character, and I do not wish any of
us to be placed in a position where it could be said
by absent ones that if they had been present they
should have recommended a different policy. Besides,
I think it due to the brethren that having the
responsibility they should have the opportunity of giv-
ing their views. We had a meeting last night;
there were present nine of the Twelve—myself, Brothers
E. Snow, F. D. Richards, Geo. Q. Cannon, B. Young, M.
Thatcher, F. M. Lyman, J. H. Smith, and H. J. Grant.

Respecting ex-Senator Pomeroy, you
will learn, doubtless, considerable from Maude and how
far he can be trusted.
