Here we have spent four days in listning to the
Accusations of five Apostles against G. Q. Cannon
and six sustained him I never saw as much
bitterness manifest against one good man by 5
Apostles since the days of the Apostate Twelve against
the Prophet Joseph in Kirtland and all through Jealousy
as Br Cannon was first councillor to John Taylor
and the blame of any acts of President Taylor that
five of the Twelve did not think wa[s] right was
laid to George Q Cannon it is painful to record
those things but it is true. we have tryed to
settle those things but so far we are still apart Erastus Snow accused Br Cannon & in some measure
applyed to myself that we were men worshipers
sycophants & todyism And it stird my blood &
showed up Erastus Snows life & course And
I think I done wrong & went to far in the
matter, but when our Meeting closed we were
not to gether but we adjourned untill Monday at
10 oclok. At the close of the Meeting we held another
Meeting with four Lawyiers with Legrand Young Sheets & Rawlins & Judge Sonderland upon our
Law Suit we closed at 10:20 & packed up
& went to my farm & spent the night & thankful
to Breath free air once more. 3 Miles
