you have an opportunity that president Young Required me to support you 6
months with a home food & Rament & sharply Reproved me saying that I
had treated you ill, if you have made any one of these statements to any
any person you have lied and stated falsehoods president Young did not
Reproove me Neither did He Require or advise me to feed, cloth
or keep you one day or give you one dime what I have done for
you since I gave you a Bill I Have done out of charity not because
I was compelled to do it And I will now say if you do not
scease your lying I shall expose you & you need not look
to me for any further support untill I am satisfyed
that you Have Recalled these fals statements where you
have made them
