Such a Nation ought to feel the wrath of
Almighty God, and be broaken in peaces, and the
sceptre any Government taken out of their hands
and given into the hands of rightous men
which will be the case as the Lord Loves, For No
Nation never did nor never can live longong
after persuing the course the United Stats are
doing today. I thank the Lord the presidency are prsesevd ^preserved^ so far, and I hope & pray they may be

victorious and her Enemies cut down.
Brother Joseph F was quite sick the Last

of his condition thatn I do. I dreamed a week
ago that LorenzoSnow was liberatedby the
dcision of the Supreme Court of the U.S. I head

the Decision of the UtahCourts. I will conferd
I had but vary little faith that the Supreme
Court would do any for us if thy could help it.
I trust to Brothr Cannon or Nutall to transld

you. My Daily prayer is that you may be presevd by
the power of God from all your Enemies
