Promise of the Remission of the Sins of the People
Given by President Young November the 10th 1856

I attended meeting of the Presidents of the Seventies in the
Seventies Hall

While I was speaking President Young came in when
I closed and was followede by Herriman Hancock and Pulsifepher
and then President Young

The President promised the people in the name
of Jesus Christ that if they would repent and turn from their sins
from that hour all their sins should be forgiven them and not
remembered against them any more for ever either on earth or
in heaven.

^On the 11th^ An Express came in from the teams saying that
the teams had gone to the Sweet Water and hearing nothing
from the companies they turned back. President Young
immediately took measures to raise an Express to go directly
and turn the teamsters back again to continue back until
they met the company and several horsemen were to go with
them

I heard early on the morning of the 13th that an
Express had come in from the Handcart company and I went
to the President's and met with all the Presidency. The following
is a synopsis of what I learned

Brother Joseph A. Young and George D. Grant
parted. They agreed that they should not go any farther
than the Devil's Gate until George came up. He did not
find the company so Joseph A. then went on to the Platte
and found them at the Upper cCrossing of the Platte. They
were in camp and had been nine days waiting for the
snow to go off. Soon brother George D. Grant
arrived and prepared the camp for moving. He asked
