[FIGURE] 22nd I spent most of the day in the senate chamber we met
[FIGURE] at the Historians office & gave Samuel Pitchforth his second
Anointing. G. A. Smith was mouth. I received 3 letters from Phebe

confession which he had written & it was not satisfactory President
Young talked vary plain^ly^ upon the subject & told Brother Lyman
that if he did not make a confession that was satisfactory

^happened^ in Josephs day he would have cut him off from the Church & it
was a question whether the Lord would Justify us in retaining him
in the Church or not
