given it to him. And is he was in the way of his duty he
would throw that influence into the chanel what it out
to be for the stream had run out of the chanel by Enough
I told him it was time for me to have for tiems for
Emigration & for my name to appear upon the door
post & sign Boards & hand Bills & cards as well as R
Hedlocks. Elder Hedlock had found fault because I had
interfered with the Temple Books but I have gone forward
