I heard a rumour yesterday
that the of
had ordered all the Mormons to
leave that state in 15 days, and that
they charged them $6 for each 100 lb of
flour brought new to the line. I suppose
you probably have cent information
upon the Matter, if that is the case
what would you advise the Brothers
there to do, esspecially [FIGURE] G. T.
I am writing him to day. I sent him
a draft to sign of $25 on provo bank
Money due on shares. I thought if they
had to come back into it
would be well for him to stay with
at , untill
some other arangements could be made,
in Richards assisted him to his present
place of abode, such men ought to
be laboring somewhere. I have thought
that such Men as &
might buy out some 2 or 3 Gentiles in the
upper in Nevada which would
controll all the watter of that settlement.
They wanted to sell very much when I was
there, so far all our people has had the
privilege of voting or holding office
without any question to ther religion
but how long that order of things will
last I cannot say. It is said the
Mill of the Gods grind slow, but sure
The Mill of the Devils grinds by fist fast
in these Mountains, but not always safe
They now have an Idea that they are
now going to destroy the Saints, but
they have one difficulty in ther way, and
that is the Lord, they may indict
convict & fine him, but they cannot
imprision him. Their is no doubt
but what He will pay them, but not in
the coin they wish for, for God holds
the keys of power, Death, & Hell, and neither
the ring nor our Government has any
controll over him or his power. I don't
know that I have any council to give the
Presidency of the Church, without it is the council
