laudible disposition manifested on your part
to effect peace between our society and the inhabitants
of Jackson County, and as many as can con-
veniently will be present on Monday next. Entertaining
some fears that your honor in his zeal for peace
might unwarily recommend a sale of our lands
in Jackson County we have thought it expedient
to give reasonable notice that no such proposition
could reasonable be consented to by our Society
we have not heard that it was the intention of
your honor to urge any such measure, but our
enemies in Jackson County have long been
trying to effect this object. In a letter from
the Governer he says "I have been requested to
advice the Mormons to sell out and move
away but beliving that it could have no good
effect, I have withheld my advice." We give
this quotation from the Governer's letter to
disprove the statement made in the Upper
Missouri Enquirer of last Wednsday, and
conclude by adding that home is home, and
we want possession of our homes from which
we have been wickedly expelled, and thoes
rights which belonge to us, as natural free-born
citizens of the United States.

We are respectfully your friends and servant,
A. S. Gilbert (Sect) John Corrill (Chair)
Chairman
