through the country concerning affairs in Nauvoo
& reagions round about saying that the whole
country was rising in arms in mob to exterminate
the Saints. most of the inflamatory speaches and
excitement was got up by the warsaw message
and St Louis papers they desire to exterminate the
Saints from of[f] the earth, but the work is in the
hands of God and he will direct all things aright
