with Brother Snow and others. I had no conversation with him
They put up with Brother Snow, but I was informed they got [to]church the friday night they came in, they were not able
to attend conference on Saturday. Brother Snow seems
to think with some caution I would be safe in Salt Lake
City, and He thought the Twelve felt the same. He seems to think
the Courts & Marshals here got so far along without the Church
records that they find they do not need them. That there
is no necessity of proving any marriage, as they seem to
have adopted Judge Howards views, that it requires very little Law and Damn little testimony to convict a mormon.
I thought if the presidency had any views to communicate
to me about coming to S. L. C. I should be pleased to receive
them. Brother Snow will start in few days for S. L. and wished
me to go with him, but I felt Like waiting a short time
longer, as I have a chance to go in a waggon a week
after him I think probably it would not be well for
me to go by rail I am in the enjoyment of good health
and feel well in spirit. I feel that I can acknowledge
the hand of God in what is going on around us. The army worm Canker worm, catapillarthe lice, with all the plagues of Egypt
including the Judges & Marshals. I think the hand of the Lord
is in it Judgments & afflictions must begin at the hand of God
but the wicked will not escape. Our Nation must have a chance to
get ripe, and they are fast approaching the Harvest. My Love to
Brother Cannon and those with you That health, peace, prosperity,
and Liberty may abide with you is the prayer of your brother in the Gospel
